Music Therapy

The stories of music as a therapeutic tool are breathtaking. A dying person alleviates worry for everyone in the room as music brings the family together. A person with advanced dementia who rarely speaks or shows any awareness of the world sings clear words in perfect melody and plenty of emotion. The patient recovering from painful surgery escaping the pain and struggle by playing simple chords on an instrument. Music therapists are trained to assess a person's challenge and use some form of music to aid the person in overcoming the challenge. In this episode, Melanie Walborn and Kristyn Beeman of WB Music Therapy (https://www.wbmusictherapy.com/) explain the settings and the process of music therapy.
