What the research says

Natural

Listening to and playing music is a natural part of life and contributes  to body, mind and spiritual health.

Enhancing

Music enhances relationships and daily routines and delivers wonderful ‘moments of joy!’.

Inclusive

While there are specialists and experts in music care practice, everyone can use music for care.

Complementary

Music supports other forms of care and therapeutic modalities like therapeutic touch or art therapy.

Active

Music helps us stay active throughout our lifetime and is a source of stimulation.

Soothing

Music can be calming and relaxing, a source of comfort in stressful and anxious times.

Great research and great results

Over a decade of research and evidence-based development has shaped the music care approach. All of our resources have been community tested to ensure improved quality of life and positive health outcomes.

‘When mom was declared palliative, the staff brought a CD player into her room with some CDs. We chose to play ‘Spirit Wings’ because it was so lovely, and we played it on repeat for 4 solid days and nights. It was so beautiful and soothing for Mom.’

SEE MUSIC CARE IN ACTION

I was with a client who was very unsettled wanting to go home. We turned on Room 217 Boomer Tracks and sat together listening to the music. A visible calm come over the client. Client was laughing and singing and sat for 45 minutes with staff until her caregiver arrived for pickup.
