Music Therapy in Children’s Hospitals

This week’s article focuses on 9 year-old Hannah Gorham, and how Music Therapy has helped her health and well-being during extended hospital stays due to a congenital defect.

 

The young girl had been getting migraines for about a year, but a week into fourth grade, they became severe, Mr. Tolles said. Now, when she gets a migraine, Hannah runs to her grandfather and hides in the crook of his arm to shield herself from the light.

 

 “I think the biggest thing is the music. It makes her rest easier — I can get her to close her eyes,” he said. “I haven’t found much else that helps.”
