Sounds of Comfort
After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
– Aldous Huxley (1894-1963)
In a perfect world there would be a full time music therapist on every floor of every hospital and available for every Hospice patient and family member who needs it. Since this does not exist, we created Sounds of Comfort (501c3) non-profit organization to help bring music therapy where it is needed most.
Research clearly shows that music is effective in decreasing agitation and other negative symptoms in Alzheimer’s and dementia patients. Music often acts as a bridge to help access lost memories and yet there is not enough music in most care centers.
Sounds of Comfort is dedicated to bringing quality music to people in need:
- In hospitals
- In nursing homes
- In Hospice facilities
- In private homes
Sounds of Comfort is funded by private donations, fundraising concerts, and events organized by
Rhythmic Medicine. Your private donation is used to pay music therapists and Sounds of Comfort certified musicians to provide live music for Hospice, hospital, and nursing home patients. We acknowledge your contribution with a letter of appreciation, confirming your tax-deductible donation, and will let you know of any upcoming events or concerts. With a donation of $150 or more, we will provide a Music Therapy presentation for staff or a private session at a Care Center of your choice as a thank you gift. This offer is for local people and must be within a 35 mile radius of the Kansas City/Overland Park area.
