MusicianCorps Health & Wellness: Children's and Veterans Hospitals

MusicianCorps Fellows ("MC Fellows"), including Board Certified Music Therapists (MT-BC), serve a variety of health and wellness settings such as children's and veterans hospitals, hospice residences and senior homes. Music therapy is a proven intervention for anxiety, stress reduction and non-pharmacological management of pain and discomfort. Music creates positive changes in mood and emotional states. Music therapy also allows patients to participate actively and positively in their own treatment. While some MC Fellows are placed in a health and wellness site to serve on an ongoing basis, all MC Fellows serve in these settings during recurring, team-based events with MusicianCorps students and volunteers.
