What types of music therapy sessions are available?
Music therapy is offered in one-to-one sessions with patients, in family sessions and in group sessions with other patients, family members, friends and/or medical staff. In addition, we provide environmental music therapy to promote a relaxing and soothing atmosphere for patients, families and staff on the unit. We are also implementing community outreach programs such as the Asthma Initiative Program (AIP) in local schools and outpatient services such as The Music & Health Clinic for performing artists and musicians, Music for AIR for adults with respiratory illnesses, and Music for CAIR for adults with heart disease.

A typical session may involve music listening, guided visualization, structured songs, clinical improvisation, song writing or music-assisted relaxation. All sessions are tailored to the patient’s needs and preferences.
