To see a person understand music so deeply they learned the way to break it down into teachable reachable life skills is truly beautiful
Thank you so much for your kind words.
This is what I want to do. I have an extreme passion for music and people with disabilities, I play 6 instruments and I want to use my talent to help others to find the love for music that I have.
Same here. Music therapy seems like such a cool job.
Well nobody seems to understand me especially when nobody was talking to me cuz I don't live in the sound range they tell me turn down the music everybody is not where you are with yourself the mighty if you can assist someone please do so
It's nice when the school has a music class it is not nice when they take the activity of Music out of the school that's not nice music instruments are wonderful
I'm 13 and I have a little cousin who is autistic and absolutely loves when I sing! I'm in The Singing Angels and I never want to give up singing and I love working with children with special needs! I definitely want to look into this for college!
This was so inspiring. I have a brother with special needs, and we come from a very musical family, and he loves music more than anything. I will be studying to become a music therapist at Berklee soon. 😊🎶
Very honorable job.
Just about to finish my undergraduate and go into music therapy and this is so inspirational
We took
Dude! I've worked with kids like this, sometimes more severe, and only once a week did the company I worked for ever let the kids be exposed to music. And even then it was just a cd playing, not actual instruments. I love these videos, they bring a tear to my eye because I have such a heart for these kids. Keep up the good work man!
That is the sweetest connection.
I'm Kailey and I'm sixteen, so naturally I'm thinking about college in a few years. I had to do a research paper on a possible occupation I would like to pursue and I came across an interview you did on the internet. I then found this video and am so thankful I did because now I know for certain I want to become a music therapist. Thanks for inspiring so many, including me, and helping me decide what I want to spend the rest of my life doing! God Bless!
@ 4:20 I can almost feel through watching through this computer screen the kids soul flower into happiness and acceptance.
Ohh, I like that description. Nice!!!
You are inspiring. Teared up a bit while watching this. Your kindness and compassion for the kids show well in what you do.
Thank you for sharing that!
I have autism and in Roseburg we don't have music therapy but when i watch you it calmes me down
Thank you Ryan. I am looking into going back to school to become a music therapist. I really enjoyed this video

Ryan,
This is truly a magical thing to watch. I never knew what music therapy was until I came across this video. The beauty in your profession is truly incredible. Thank you for sharing this.
This guy is the real life version of Steve from blues clues! Great work! Music is truely a universal language!
Ha! Thanks so much. I'll gladly take that comparison! 😀
Wish I could find a therapist like you for my daughter! Amazing work x
I'm currently pursuing my BM in Music Therapy, and your videos are so inspirational! Thanks for sharing :)
Beautiful video! As a speech pathologist who's worked with spcial needs kids and adults for many years I applaud loudly. You have a real gift and your music only enhances it.
such an amazing person.bravo!
Thank you so much for putting this up here. I am now on the track to becoming a Music Therapist myself and was in some need of encouragement. Thank you. This was a joy to watch and it reminded me why I am here, in school. I pray that you continue to flourish in your career.
:) this put a smile on my face ♡ I am a music major but have thought about going into music therapy instead of music education. I love how you are with the children overall. This warmed my heart and is really confirming what I have been wanting to do for a while without really realizing it until now. Thank you for posting this (4 years ago :))
That is sooooooo cool using music to reach out to people this shows music truly is the best remedy
You are such a blessing Ryan!
The smile in those precious children is PRICELESS!! ❤️😊😊😊
This is so beautiful that it brought me to tears. Its clear you have a love for what you do - keep that energy cause it inspires us all.
I am definitely sharing this on both my public speaking class and sociology of the family class. I want to help out people like these. They are all special in their own way.
You are so amazingly awesome! I can't wait to use your strategies in the Life Skills classroom. Thank you so much for sharing! The mothers statement at the end was priceless & brought tears to my eyes! God Bless!
Ahhh, thanks so much Alana!!! Yeah, that interview was super sweet and she said such powerful things. It was a very humbling experience. ❤️
I absolutely love this guy. I'm going into Music Therapy, myself, and this guy is just right on with everything.
dude this is amazing, how long have you been working with kids like this? my goal in life is to work as a music therapist, I truly believe it can help all forms of people break the boundaries of communication issues which I feel is the main problem in connecting with people with disability. this video truly made me happy!
Hey Ryan! You're probably getting sick of hearing from us music therapy students from USU. I loved how in your first clip you were able to integrate modern technology in your session. I was just wondering if you had a specific music app you used, either in this example or in other sessions. I think one of the most important things as music therapists is keeping up with the times. Being able to use modern technology in a session is a good way to connect with clients, especially with children with special needs, since they probably use different applications of technology at home. Do you know of any music therapy apps, or music apps in general, that can be helpful in music therapy sessions?
Thanks,
Kelsey
Thanks for posting this video! Like Laura I am looking into training to be a music therapist. Yours was the first video I have watched. What you do for those children is nothing short of beautiful! x
With me being a person with autism and sometimes plays the guitar and also has an obsession with music this guys satisfying to watch tho im 15
I'm glad that you liked it!
This is wonderful, keep doing this great work! I immediately smiled every time I saw a child light up on the video. I am writing a paper on music therapy for my Public Health class. I may even ask the instructor if I can show this video too. God Bless you.
Great! Thank you *****
I love children, and specially love seeing those with disorders because they make me smile and brighten up my day! Music has been part of my life since the day I was born. And surprisingly, I have always shown how to make music to little kids I teach at my church and I love them making noises and seeing them be happy! This video made me smile!
Love this Ryan, very heart-warming to see how you connect with the people here.
Thanks so much, Alex!
The man is doing a wonderful job!
this brought tears in my eyes.... but it made me feel like even wanting to work with children more....
this therapist is really good, you rule man...
This made me emotional . God bless you😊
Many thanks, Yasmin! I appreciate your blessings. 🙏
God bless you sir
Right now i'm at my bachelor at the music therapy school of Denmark, and i've decided to do a year of working, with children with special needs, before i continue the master.
It's very interesting how good you are in communicating the bennefits of music therapy.
I'll be using these videos as inspiration in my work i'm sure.
Thanks Ryan!
And one more thing.
I need some inspiration of Group therapeutic setting with children with autism specter.
Do you know where to find some? It's for music games and so..
I am in high school right now. I have a strong passion for music, mainly vocal. I know that I want to help special needs children, but I am debating on going for occupational therapy, teaching special needs or music therapy. Thank you of putting up this video, it will definitely influence ,y decision!
Mr. Judd this wonderful. I have been teaching elem. Music for 16 years and I have always had in the back of mind, music therapy. Where did you attend school and how many years till you were ready to hit the "field" . Thank you so much and God bless you.
This video is so inspiring and provides a great overview for Music Therapy and children. I show it to my non-music major undergraduates who are mostly education majors. This video helps them see how Music Therapy can help them in their own classrooms. Thanks so much, Ryan!
this is a great video you have shared, Ryan!
Thank you, Megan!
Hi Mr Ryan.. I really love what you are doing..Music therapy is a wonderful research..It is a fabulous fusion of music in medicine...Its a miracle..Medically, autism and down syndrome childrens unable to respond to any of action but with music they able to communicate and react..i find it amusing.. I am from Malaysia..MT is not well practised over here but they are group of community working hard to bring awareness to public about MT..Just would like to ask you what kind of efforts do you make to get more attention from the public and do u hv any plans to do it internationally..how can we lend a hand in that...
I'm applying for university when I get back in college in September to do a music performance course. This is definitely a job id love to do! Awesome job man. You're inspirational
Hi! I'm about to go to Srilanka to volunteer with special needs, and I basically want to learn how to use music therapy (with instruments small enough to take with me)! This is a great vid..
Hey Ryan, How is he doing? The first child. What state are you teaching this in? I dont have any children but this wonderful thing your doing, I want to share to others.
Hey John, he's doing well! I'm in NH. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
Mr. Judd, God bless you!
Hi Ryan, I'm a music therapy student at USU as well, and I have a quick question for you. I noticed that around 2:50 you waited a while for the client to respond before continuing. In my experience so far, I have found it difficult to know whether to keep waiting after I ask a question or to prompt for the answer. Do you have any thoughts on this? How long did it take you become comfortable with waiting?
Also, I have one more question. Do you think it is more effective to use well-known children's songs or to introduce less well-known or original songs? I am doing my practicum at a preschool right now, and I have wondered whether it is as effective to use new songs that the children are not familiar with.
Thank you,
Sarah
Hi Ryan,
I'm musictherapist in France. Your work is very interesting and inspiring! what is the app for yes/no, please? Thanks
I'm not sure that one is available any more, but try this one! Yes/No from I Can Do Apps
I would absolutely love to have a job like this. these videos just warm my heart so much. music has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember, and to be able to share it with someone who needs it would just make me so happy. I've never really had an experience with children who have special needs, but I think it would be great to be able to connect with them. I also think I would need to have some more skill with the instruments I play, like piano, guitar, and ukulele. but overall, I think this would be a wonderful job.
Thank you so much for making this! I had to write a paper on music therapy benefits for my English class and it really helped a lot.
This is such an awesome video! i cant help but smile watching these amazing kids vibe off of your music! truly inspiring.
I love this. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us.
I absolutely love this!! I have been very interested in changing my major to Music Therapy. Thank you Ryan! My heart is full, just wow THE POWER OF MUSIC :)
i love to be music therapist just to help those children
What an inspiring video to watch. Its just amazing how much music can helps these children and respond. I am seriously considering going into a career in music therapy. Going to apply for next years intake :)
Aww thank you so much
Hello Ryan thankyou for sharing this, its very inspiring! I've been working with kids and families with special needs, and just taken up a music course, i think i may head into a similar path of music therapy, such rewarding beneficial and amazing work :) x
Very inspirational! It's very rewarding and emotional to see you connecting with these kids on a personal level. Keep on being the amazing person that you are! :)
So beautiful Ryan- I work with families of children with special needs and had a son with complex needs- he loved Elmo's song to calm him down. Sharing this video. keep up the great work!
How can I learn how to help kids in my community? Im a pianist and your video was very touching.
Hey Adam, I would take some courses in music therapy techniques and approaches and then connect with local agencies such as Easter Seals or your local chapter of The Autism Society and volunteer to lead some music activities. You might want to check out musictherapyed.com. Just know that you can't call the work " music therapy" without at least a bachelor's degree in music therapy. I hope that helps!
Thank you so much for these videos! I have been looking for videos like these, you're really good at what you do!
Thank you for posting this wonderful video.
Great job you do to help these flowers. Thank you indeed. Hope one day will be implemented here in Oman
You're doing such an amazing job. This is beautiful. I salute you. ♡
I like your work with children. Hill Baars Holland (sometimes working in Z Afrika)
this video is so pure💙
Excellent video, Ryan! I loved watching everyone's reactions. Keep it up!! Heather
Hi, Ryan! I am endlessly greatful for this wonderful video. I have a lot of questions that I would really like to ask you about music therapy, if that would be alright. I'm a senior in high school and I am so inspired by music therapy.
This is such an inspiration! I would love to discuss how you ended up pursuing music therapy and how you went about it.
this is so inspiring it made me cry.
junior in high school so it's time to start that wonderful search of colleges and careers. I've always wanted to be a music teacher or work with special need kids but with budget cuts its not s good field to go into and I think I just found my dream job
Music can do wonders
This brought a happy tear to my face ☺️
Hola Ryan, me encanta ver como trabajas, soy futura profesora de musica, y a veces nos encontramos en los salones con chicos con discapacidades multiples, y ver tu trabajo me emociona, me gustaria encontrar videos tuyos, trabajando con estos chicos pero con traduccion al español para que nos sea mas facil de entender, gracias por todo...
what a nice job.. this is just so inspiring!..
you are amazing and a big inspiration to me
Amazing.....
Thanks a lot! 😊
Hi this is very nice video it's very useful to my son
made me realize what really matters
Yes!
i love this man incredible work
Bravo amazing, keep the good work Ryan !
Hello, Ryan!
I'm studying music therapy right now at USU, and I was wondering about the section of this video that starts at 3:07. The boy shows distress at first, so the fact that you quickly decided to change your approach only goes to show that you're an experienced therapist and that you're trying to be there in the moment with the child. But I wondered what your thought process was and what made you decide to try setting the drum to the side and drumming on him and yourself instead?
Thank you!
-Monica :)
Yes, it does! Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. :)
What amazing things!Thank you.
You’re welcome!
Hello. Nice to meet you. I'm studying to music therapy. i'm so inspiring to your video.
Hey Ryan! I saw how quickly you responded to the comment section, and figured simply commenting would be the easiest way to reach you. I'm with XFM News at Fanshawe College and was wondering if I could use some soundbites from this video for the music therapy section in a documentary I'm making on the connection between music and the brain. Thanks!
Hi Ryan! I am also a MT student at USU and have a couple questions for you. First, what would you say is your music therapy philosophy? Second, I can tell you really love working with this population--it is so fantastic to see how attentive to and in the moment with your clients you are!--and I noticed in your reply to Trisha that you've been working with people with special needs for 14 years. Throughout those years, what are some of the biggest challenges you've run into and how have you overcome those? I guess I have one last question, too: to an aspiring music therapist wanting to work with this population, what are some tips you can offer? Thank you so much!
~Danielle
thanks for this, I have now confidence to report the music therapy tomorrow because of this. God Bless ryan :)
WOW what a wonderful video! you and the children all look so happy! I am a high school student and I want to become a music therapist like you :) do you mind if I ask you some questions?
This so amazing .I hope to be able to help kids like this someday . hi5 to you Ryan . Taking music therapy now. Crosses fingers :)
I'm holding back the tears here. Thank you for this video. I thank God for the work you're doing and the work I aspire to do.
I am currently in my senior year of undergrad studying music and child psychology. Is it possible to pursue a license in Music Therapy after completing my bachelors or should I continue on into pursuing my masters in music therapy?
Thank you again!
+Ryan Judd Hi there!! Thank you so much for your reply. I appreciate your advice and will check out the website. Keep rockin' on!
So inspired, you are so good Ryan. i was thinking about it twice, but i surely going to the music therapy's field.
isn't a bit tiring to work with such special needs people?
Well said :)
thank you for this, ryan. i learned so much from this.
i work for children with special needs, ryan and this is an amazing clip. thank you for the work you do.
Ótima ideia! Parabéns!!
thank you.
so wonderful
Thanks, John!
This is really awesome (: my sister has special needs and I also have a mega big interest in what you do! Where'd you to go to school?
This is so inspirational
Thank you!
Hi Ryan, I am a Music Therapy student at Radford University and I am writing a speech for my core class and I need to use a visual aid and I really enjoy your video because it represents what I want to be doing as a music therapist. I was wondering if I could use a clip from your video for my project.
Thank you!
***** Thanks and thank you for getting back to me!
Hey Ryan,
I am studying Music Therapy at Utah State University right now and I have a couple questions for you. Do you compose the music for the majority of your interventions or if you use popular songs that are written by others as well? If you do use both, which do you feel is most effective? How did you train yourself to have the courage to completely drop your plans and be in the moment? Also, how long have you been working with people with special needs? Is that the population you originally wanted to work with when you started your career? Thank you!
Trisha
