A Day in the Life of a Hospice Music Therapist

Music therapy can benefit all kinds of different patients, including those in hospice. Music Therapists at Carilion Clinic Hospice share their expertise and music with patients and their families.

Music therapy is an evidence-based practice using music to accomplish goals by a board-certified music therapist. In hospice, music is used to foster reminiscence, for emotional expression, relaxation, reduce pain perception, creating legacy projects and so much more.

Physically, these techniques promote comfort, reduce stress and encourage relaxation. Emotionally, they improve inner peace and cultivate a stronger sense of purpose.

Don and I loved the Hospice Music Therapy.
It made him look forward to his favorite thing and that was music. God bless our Hospice team.
