This is the official webpage for Lisa Prokopowitz's Music Therapy business, "Mending Music".
Lisa Prokopowitz (MT-BC, ACC), is a Music Therapist-Board Certified and Activity Consultant Certified, who has worked primarily with Geriatrics (as well as Psychiatric clientelle), since the early 1980's, in Northern New Jersey. She is also the owner and developer of the website (www.ShiningRiver.com) that is currently the "home" of Mending Music.
The goal of Mending Music is to use Music (often with spiritual or growth oriented themes) to encourage and uplift people in a variety of situations. Wherever a person lives, in whatever type of home or facility, the potential always exists for discouragement, loneliness and struggle.
The primary emphasis of Lisa's music is to address such needs, offering hope, comfort and joy.
Music Therapists focus on a wide variety of goals. Some of the issues that can be addressed range from increased socialization/interaction, improved sense of "well-being", to increases in memory recall, active and focused physical movement, and/or attentiveness (for the cognitively impaired).
To learn more about Lisa's personal songwriting, visit the music page at Shining River Music. Many of her songs deal with themes that promote spiritual and personal growth. She is currently at work on producing several CD's of her songs. If you are interested in obtaining copies of such CD's, visit the Spiritual Songs page frequently to stay informed about availability ... and to listen to songs clips of her existing CD's as well as her new songs, as they become available.
Shining River is a place to provide contact with Lisa Prokopowitz, and her Christian oriented songwriting and recording. If your clients would respond well to this type of music, please be sure to explore these resources.
You are encouraged again to visit the "Spiritual Songs page" to listen to music clips from her currently available recording "Painter of the Heavens". This is a contemporary yet accessible and enjoyable mix of hymns and several original songs. Many clients may enjoy this uplifting CD, produced and distributed though Loving Grace Ministries.
To access other resources (which include written devotionals, etc.) please feel free to visit Shining River's home page, or see the Shining River site map to see all that is available "at a glance".
If you are located in the North Jersey area of the US, and would like to book Lisa for a Mending Music session to share her music "in person", you may contact her via this link.
