The 24-year-old started bringing his guitar to work a few months, in hopes of providing patients with a joyful way to pass time. Read more here…

I’ve always been a lover of music. According to my mother, I was dancing to the Bosco theme tune from about 6 months of age and was a dancer for many years after that. m so glad to see my daughter following in my footsteps.

PADUCAH, Ky. — The two boys at Harmony Road Music School banged on the drums, shook rain sticks and rattles, and tried to pick out tunes on the piano. If it didn’t resemble a typical music lesson, that’s because it wasn’t. Instructor Madison Whelan’s musical games were meant to help the students develop skills that can be used outside of music, such as impulse control and communication. Read more here…

Every morning at 11:30 they come for a chance to sing along and play a song — maybe bang a bongo or two. At the UC Davis Children’s Hospital, the patients have few moments to enjoy being a kid while they are being poked and prodded as they deal with health issues that are tough even for grownups. So, a musical break between treatments brightens up their day. Read more here…
