What Music Practitioners Do
|
|
 |
Music Practitioners provide one-on-one palliative care to the ill and the dying in hospitals, hospices, homes, and other clinical settings. By focusing on a single patient at a time, the practitioner can provide therapeutic music that meets the patient’s needs in the moment, creating a nurturing environment that facilitates healing. CMPs play unobtrusive, soothing music as a service, not an entertainment. They have found welcoming ears in nursing homes and private homes; delivery rooms and special care nurseries; bedsides of the dying; intensive care, burn, Alzheimer’s, and ambulatory surgery units; psychiatric wards; dialysis centers; operating rooms; and massage and acupuncture clinics. |
