Culver-Newlin Expo

Demonstrating how we accomplish non-musical goals through music therapy - and having a blast!

I had the honor and privilege of having a booth at the Happiest Expo on Earth - hosted by Culver-Newlin. Thanks to their awesome director of sales and marketing - Devyn Goss - I got to provide a booth that was different from the rest of the school furniture companies around me. I had no idea what would result from this experience, and I was encouraged to see the high level of participation and engagement when I convinced school administrators, purchasing managers, facilities managers, etc. to participate in a music experience. Spending 5 minutes with each group practically demonstrated the benefits and goals addressed in music therapy. Participants engaged in something that 1) required courage and thinking outside the box, 2) worked together with others on a common purpose, 3) created a successful musical result in a short amount of time, and 4) ended up being a blast!

Thanks, Devyn Goss and Culver-Newlin, for the opportunity! As a result, I was able to provide a music therapy workshop at Walnut Valley Unified School District’s professional development day.
