 into a room. The way I approach the music is completely dependent on the patient's conditions and what they might need. I may play familiar pieces for someone who's confused that gives them some comfort and familiarity. I may help someone breathe deeper who's having trouble with shallow breathing. I may play while someone is dying and I play a really specific type of music that helps them let go and make that transition. It also creates a really beautiful space for the family that may be in there at that time. I may play to help someone go to sleep who is having trouble sleeping. It is one of the biggest privileges I can think of. Someone lets you into their room at a very vulnerable time for them and with the music we make a very close connection and I can watch them and they watch me. It just makes you forget everything and how sick you are and it takes your mind into the better place. It does.
