The patients said they had heard the song on TV recently, and it is definitely age appropriate and relevant to current popular culture. I compared the skill of paraphrasing to the musical sentence structure-the original idea is presented, you repeat that idea, then you develop on it and present new ideas. The previous week we did musical role playing of communication, using paraphrasing on xylophones. We followed this with verbal role playing using the communication skills with scenarios such as: discussing medication changes with a psychiatrist, discussing enrollment in substance abuse treatment with parole, etc. I used the song to open up the session and start us talking about communication (and how sometimes it takes courage, and emotion management to do it effectively) and also just get us making some music. I work with adult men with severe psychiatric/mental disorders who are incarcerated, and we were discussing and practicing communication skills, including: validation, paraphrasing, asking questions, and taking turns (in conversations). I actually used this song in session last week (on 4/15)! What a coincidence! I hope you enjoy learning Brave this week, I know I will! And, as always, I encourage you to comment you thoughts, ideas, and results of the challenge. The resource I am sharing today, I hope you are already familiar with, but just in case: I will be posting periodically about it here, as well as sharing my compositions on the youtube channel. It looks like a lot of fun, so I hope you will consider joining. If you are interested in further songwriting tasks, Rachel Rambach is leading a Songwriting Challenge for the next 5 weeks, which you can sign up for here. So I am working on improving my parody skills and inviting you to as well. The biggest reason is I struggle with this skill, but I have found it to be amazingly helpful and effective in clinical situations. I know this is the 2nd or 3rd time I have presented this task. This is a great song to practice this type of songwriting on. In her new music video for 'I Choose You,' she helps couples propose to the loves of their lives. She is back and is still into the whole love thing. Once you are comfortable with playing Brave on your instrument of choice, I’d like to extend the challenge to write your own verse, bridge, chorus, or any other part of the song that you wish. Sara Bareilles became famous with her hit 'Love Song' a few years ago.Or replace the piano part with a percussion instrument to provide similar emphasis. Use those strong bass notes as a starting point to help guide the song. This is a common characteristic in her music, which makes it easier to teach a group. I love the prominent bass tones in the piano though. The way Sara Bareilles wrote it is a bit confusing unless you listen to it a couple times. When learning this song, be careful to get the inflection on the correct words in the verses. The structure for Brave is easy and predictable, the words are empowering and you can easily write your own verses. However, you must also consider whether the song contains simple, clear communication, and structure. These are all possibilities to consider when choosing music for a client with ASD. In an inclusion setting, it can be a huge witness to the client’s peers, giving them the opportunity to enjoy similar music and form a relationship based on that.

It may even be a way to educate the client’s family members and peers about how to get to know the client’s taste and preference for music. It is validating to the client’s individuality and presence in their society, as well as to the family of the client. Using age-appropriate material is a very important aspect of working with this population, which is unfortunately overlooked at times. Why I Chose This Song – This is a great example of age-appropriate repertoire to use with kids, teenagers, or adults with ASD. Bareilles found a second home in theater, earning a Tony nomination for her. She racked up her big hits during the late 2000s and 2010s-"Love Song" went to number four, "King of Anything" peaked at 32 in 2010, "Brave" topped out at 23 in 2013-and then she turned to Broadway, where she composed the songs for the 2015 musical adaptation of Adrienne Shelly's Waitress. This facility with the past and flair for the present helped Bareilles become one of the most successful and enduring singer/songwriters of her generation. Much of this retro vibe rested upon her reliance on audaciously melodic songcraft, a skill showcased on her smash single "Love Song," a tune that managed to spin classic singer/songwriter tropes into the modern era. Sara Bareilles appeared to be a throwback to another era when she released her debut Little Voice in 2007.
