"We don't work on music - we use music to work on other skills.... Eachsession varies so widely; I work with kids from the first day of life toearly adulthood with varied diagnoses and needs. Sometimes, if a patient'sin pain, I play the guitar at bedside to help them calm down so they cansleep with a reduced need for medications. I can hum a lullaby to help anagitated infant receive treatment. Sometimes a session is an engaging onewhere we can use drums or shakers; sometimes with older kids, we work onsongwriting to help them express their feelings. I can also support familybonding too; maybe just for a moment, a mom can hold her child while I sing,and feel a little more normal." - Julie Renato, a Board-Certified MusicTherapist at Phoenix Children's Hospital
