“It’s time to stop thinking of the drum as just a musical instrument. Start thinking of it as a unifying tool for every family, a wellness tool for every retiree, and an educational tool for every classroom. At Remo, we’d like to help people of all ages and abilities include drumming, one of the oldest forms of music making, in their personal prescription for wellness.”
“Music therapy is a systematic process of intervention wherein the therapist helps the client to promote health, using music experiences and the relationships that develop through them as dynamic forces of change.”
“(Music therapy) can make the difference between withdrawal and awareness, between isolation and interaction, between chronic pain and comfort—between demoralization and dignity.”
“(Rhythm) is there in the cycles of the seasons, in the migrations of the birds and animals, in the fruiting and withering of plants, and in the birth, maturation and death of ourselves,” Hart told a Senate panel studying music therapy.
“As a national artist spokesperson for AMTA, I have had the good fortune to watch music therapists at work in a variety of settings. The undeniable link between music and wellness is as obvious in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) as it is in nursing homes. Music not only humanizes modern medicine, it enables it to function at its highest potential.”
