MUSIC THERAPY

Music therapy in hospice is unique in that it can draw from the patient’s culture, religious beliefs, and cherished memories to create a healing experience that is deeply personal and meaningful. Therefore, it can promote an environment of healing and emotional well-being that is precisely in tune with a patient’s specific needs. While all hospice music therapy programs will have some degree of variance between them, most music therapy sessions in the end-of-life setting incorporate many of the same therapeutic exercises and techniques. If possible, patients can sing along or hum a tune while the therapist plays an instrument, sings a tune, or even just plays the patient’s favorite music from a list of songs. The benefits of seeing the patient relax while listening to songs that take him or her back are rewarding for the family and the patient themselves.
