Listening to music can reduce pain, help patients with dementia recover memories, and help stroke victims learn to walk again. Making musiccan lower blood pressure and alleviate stress. Accumulatingevidence of music's power to improve health outcomes has spurred hospitals and other medical facilities to employ musicians and music therapists, turning guitars and xylophones into medical equipment.
Massachusetts General, the largest hospital in Boston, employs four music therapists to work with patients and recruits professional musicians for live performances in waiting rooms and lobbies. Its environmental music program has been enthusiastically received by employees and families who say encountering live music in a hospital instantly improves the experience, said Lorrie Kubicek, a board-certified music therapist at the hospital.
