The Music Enrichment program provides instrumental music to patients during room-to-room visits as part of addressing the whole health of the individual. The goal of this program is to lift the emotional spirits of the patient, improve morale, increase energy levels, and provide stress relief through music as a diversion technique. By volunteers providing music at the bedside of patients, it also has the potential to ease the patient s feelings of loneliness.
The Music Enrichment program allows volunteers to play in the lobby on the grand piano or bring their own smaller instruments (wind or string) up to patient rooms and nursing floors.
