It’s all in the name !

Music is a uniquely powerful form of art that has a long and storied role in many forms of healing and overall wellness. Music, with its ability to transcend cultural, language, and societal barriers, has the power to promote wellness for the whole person. In the hospice setting, music is one of many therapeutic art forms that are used to promote total well-being within patients, families, caregivers, and the bereaved.

“Music is an art imbued with power to pe*****te into the very depths of the soul.”- Plato

~Techniques Used in Hospice Music Therapy~

Songwriting

Songwriting can inspire deep thought and reflection about relationships and life. These practices can open up the door to healing longstanding emotional wounds between the patient, friends, and family.

Moving to music

Moving to music promotes physical activity and movement that otherwise may not occur for patients.

Lyric discussion

Lyric discussion and analysis encourages stimulating conversation and can lead to patients’ introspection and reflection on life, relationships, and their legacy.

Singing

Singing promotes social togetherness as patients, therapists, family members, and caregivers enjoy the lyrics and tune of the music together.

~Music helps heighten ones self-confidence~

As patients experience continued, positive social interactions with the music therapist, learn new musical skills, and potentially regain lost motor skills, their outlook on themselves greatly improves. A positive self-image and self-worth dramatically improves the overall well-being of patients and promotes a more positive outlook on the end-of-life journey.

☆TRULY HONORING ONES LIFE☆

Music is an art form that has long been used in the practice of memorializing a deceased loved one and bringing honor to their legacy. By engaging in therapeutic songwriting, music therapists can help families process their grief and create a personal and meaningful tribute to a late loved one.
