Funded Activity Summary

Although music is widely used, scant discussion about its therapeutic merit exists when compared to the spoken word. Throughout the Ages, ritualized music promoted health and loss adjustment, however, music is not pivotal in modern medicine. The research will examine people’s intuitive music usage when experiencing life threatening cancer and the relationship between music therapy participation and one’s later music experience. Findings will inform specific recommendations for music therapists and generic guidelines to extend music’s therapeutic effect in palliative care.
