[@joannapierrot2936]

Wow Ryan, you are one truly blessed Music Therapist. To hear Brandon sing and see how relaxed and peaceful he seems is such a beautiful thing to witness. God Bless you for helping so many with your talents. Thanks for posting your amazing sessions so we can learn from and share your techniques.

[@RyanJuddMusic]

Thank you so much for your kind words Joanna! I will keep doing my best! ❤️😀

Thank you!!! ❤️🎶

Hello Ryan. I'm in my last year of Psychology and just wanted to say it's been my dream to work with music and autism together as one. Your videos inspire me even more to do that. Thank you so much for what you do!

[@RyanJuddMusic]

Hi Lucia, it's my honor! Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I wish you all the BEST! ❤️

[@wisdomtoknowthedifference]

I find ease in watching your videos. There's something about witnessing the therapy process unfold because it's different with just seeing the outcome.

[@RyanJuddMusic]

I'm so glad to hear that! ❤️

[@reneedundas9365]

I’m a music therapist and have been since 1996. I like how your client has learned the basics to the songs. I have a difficult time with that because my clients don’t have the desire to learn the words. They’d rather me do it all for them.

[@racheleyles5861]

I just found these videos and I'm so happy I did. these are going into a playlist for my chaotic classroom (I have autism and am currently in my last year of high school)

[@RyanJuddMusic]

I'm so glad that you found them too!

[@dicabal]

I teach yoga to children in a preschool and I am taking early childhood education units, I came across your channel and i am moved by what you do. So inspiring, so much love, thank you.

[@RyanJuddMusic]

You're so very welcome, Diana! 🙏

[@lydiadearrington8269]

Thank you very much for posting this. I love getting a chance to see music therapy in practice, I have had a hard time describing it to people and am glad to have an example to share. I am currently finishing my music performance degree but hope to go into music therapy in the future.

[@RyanJuddMusic]

Lydia, you are so very welcome!!! There's just nothing like seeing music therapy in action! I wish you the best of luck in your future pursuits!!! ❤️

[@SHyperice]

That's a song that is really good for me, too, in these difficult times. Thank you to both of you!

[@RyanJuddMusic]

You're so very welcome!!! ❤️

Hello Ryan, Love the video, I've been referring to your videos more often as I delve deeper into my counseling and music therapy education. Hope B is doing well, I'm sure he is if you're still working with him. I still find myself singing "Take a Breath" from time to time when I need to reset! Cheers, Gabe

[@RyanJuddMusic]

Thanks so much, Gabe! B. is doing great!!! Best of luck with all of your studies!

[@natestein5988]

This is so awesome. Thank you so much for posting it here. do you have any advice for how you might deescalate an agitated client to become more calm?

[@RyanJuddMusic]

You're welcome Nate! You might want to check out my other calming strategies video which will give you some more ideas, especially if someone is already agitated, like my client is in this other video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2SnmoZtmLWajpI

Wow he sings right on pitch!!! Wowowow

Yes! He is so musical and even has perfect pitch. I play a B anywhere on the guitar and he knows it's a B!

[@annasanderson7002]

Hi Ryan! I am a first year elementary music teacher and I am teaching two self contained classes full of students who have autism. I was not trained in music therapy, so your videos have been helping me a ton! I was wondering if you have ever sang the "it's gonna be ok" song in a major key, and if so, could you share the chords with me? I have a student who doesn't respond well to songs in minor keys, but I think this song would be great for him!

[@RyanJuddMusic]

Hi, Anna, I have not used a major key, but for this song, I capo at the third and play Dmin7 C G I hope that helps!

Do you have an album with songs like this that I can play for my autistic students?

[@RyanJuddMusic]

Hey Lisa, I don't have a published album of songs like this, but if your school wants to contract with me, I could spend a couple of hours recording one or two of these. You can email me at [e-mail] if this sounds good.

[@malloryconnors]

Hi! In your MTE CMTE for guitar now. Some cool new chords there. Anyways my real question - how have you tuned your lap harp? Love the sound and I have two - one in diatonic major and the other I've tuned to harmonic minor. I have the sheets that fit in too so I've thought about doing an intervention showing how negative thoughts can change your perspective just as a minor scale changes the feel of a classic song. But I've been doing a lot of PMR and guided relaxation stuff lately, I think this tuning could be very beneficial to clients. Thanks for your work!

[@RyanJuddMusic]

Hey Mallory, thanks for watching and commenting!!! It's funny, but I just tune the harp to C, not being particular about what note any string is. Lap harps are awesome but can be CRAZY to tune!!! 😀

[@munika.terapiam.denver222]

Maravilhoso... 🇧🇷💙

[@RyanJuddMusic]

Obrigada! ❤️

[@sambuss1873]

I've recently been diagnosed with high functioning autism at the age of twenty five and I've been noticing that I've been getting triggered and upset a lot at work. What can I do to make work better for me and to get upset less often?

[@RyanJuddMusic]

That's a big question and can't be answered so simply I'm afraid. Please reach out for support in your area. I hope you can find a local therapist who can help you figure this out! Best of luck to you!!!

[@ΓιώργοςΚ-β2β]

You're awesome

[@RyanJuddMusic]

Thank you!!! 🙏

[@alexandriarose9848]

I really like the classical rock (I'm guessing it is) inspiration in a few songs you've created for the people you are helping. I'm wondering if you could answer this: Is there a specific chord progression that seems to work for calming most people?

[@RyanJuddMusic]

Thanks Alexandria! It's more about the tempo than the chords. 60 to 90 beats per minute, like the resting heart rate. I hope that helps!

[@justicekitty0724]

My little brother has autism and we don’t know what to do

[@RyanJuddMusic]

I'm so sorry to hear that. I would recommend reaching out to professionals and support groups in your area. I wish you all the best of luck!
