Music Prescription 4Life
we put the person in personalized music
Many music programs are built on generic music offerings that are era or genre-based. This approach falls short of the benefits realized from personalized music. Music that holds personal meaning to the individual has established a higher standard.
There’s only one way to create a quality, personalized music playlist. One-to-one. Our music stores our life experiences, our story, how we live and love. No other approach compares.
"Life seems to go on without effort when I am filled with music!"
- George Eliot
Care professionals, researchers, educators, students, community organizations, dementia organizations and family caregivers have discovered personalized music as an innovative and valuable tool that can be used strategically as an effective alternative to pharmacological interventions, traditional medical treatments and approaches to care.
