Music therapy is the clinical and evidenced based use of music to achieve non-musical goals such as cognitive, emotional, social, and motor skills in addition to communication skills. A music therapist uses both instrumental and recorded music to help individuals work on these specific goal areas. Individuals of all ages can participate in music therapy. Therapists work with clients to develop a program that is unique to them and based off of their personal music preferences. No prior musical knowledge or experience is required to participate and benefit from music therapy. Music therapy, including hospice care, is a valuable service for hospice patients, and is provided in their homes, nursing homes, and at the Clarissa C. Cook Hospice House. This aspect of music therapy has been shown to bring quality to life, diminish pain, and promote relaxation in end of life care.
