Music Is Medicine

Music is Medicine is an organization founded by teenage musician sisters who discovered magic: ten or fifteen seriously ill children and their parents can be the best audience a musician could ask for. Music is Medicine offers an online platform inviting musicians to register to use their music to impact hospitalized children in their communities by being paired with a local children’s centre to perform, to fundraise and/or organize a creative music therapy program for patients. Musicians receive practical guidance to organize a benefit concert, or to record a song of inspiration for a special patient. The Donate a Song project pairs professional artists with a child fan battling a serious illness. Music is Medicine helps musicians understand the power of music to uplift a child fighting for his/her life, and supports the talented to transform music into a tool to change people’s lives. The Music is Medicine website encourages and enables musicians to share ideas and to use their music to help others by starting music volunteer programs at local hospitals. The Music is Medicine Facebook page is a platform of musical inspiration - the intersection of music and positivity to inspire strength in the face of life-threatening challenges.
