As part of our innovative research efforts, we have developed a unique music therapy program to help augment a patient’s treatment plan. City of Hope believes in the power of imagination and creative expression to heal the mind and spirit. That’s why we’ve launched the healing music therapy program to help patients cope.
For children and teens battling cancer, music therapy provides an outlet for communicating difficult emotions and coping with the rigors of treatment. The program covers a wide range of activities to ease patients’ spirits, help manage pain and make the process of recovery a little bit easier overall.
Elements include music listening, relaxation and improvisation; singing, composing and songwriting; and learning and playing a musical instrument.
