 | | During the debut of the new Therapeutic Music Lab, a facilitator explains how to use the Yamaha keyboards. |
During the 45- to 60-minute sessions, a trained facilitator leads four participants – each person at his or her own piano – through a series of breathing exercises, interactive drum rhythms and melodic improvisations.
Exercises can also be tailored specifically to a patient's medical conditions. What may be best for a heart attack survivor may be completely different for a patient facing respiratory issues. Recognizing the day-to-day stresses in a work environment, Saint Agnes has also opened the program to its employees. Outpatients who come to the program are referred by their physician or other sources.
