Music with plucked-string instruments has a 3,000-year history in medicine and healing. And now, medical research studies confirm the many benefits of music in medicine.
For over 25 years, Classical Guitar Alive’s Music In Medicine program has presented hundreds of classical music performances in hospitals and hospices.
We work to inform and promote the therapeutic benefits of music in medicine, and also partner with healthcare organizations and other nonprofits to help them start their own music in medicine programs in their own communities, by sharing our knowledge and best practices derived from our 25 years of experience.
