Overview
Music therapy really makes people connect. It’s the most helpful of all the therapies. It’s like you flip a switch and turn them on. I have to bring a camera next time! She just lights up to the music!
The music touches him ... You’re the only one who can make him smile. He doesn’t even smile for me ... He has his eyes open more for you than anyone else ... He really moves to the music.
You come here and give me peace through the music. It’s healing.
You do as much or more than doctors and nurses to make me feel better.
You are so wonderful, I just watched him settle down as you played.
