About the Music Therapy Program: 2009 mark’s the 6th year of the "Making Music" music therpay program offered through the Leonard P. Zakim Center for Integrated Therapies at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Led by board certified music therapist Brian Jantz, sessions are a respite from the sometimes stressful world of the clinic, and offer a way for kids to be kids rather than patients. Its aim(s) include increasing self expression and self confidence while decreasing anxiety and providing opportunites for normalcy and control. The program provides group & individual music therapy sessions to pediatric patients and their families. Sessions include singing, playing instruments, learning to play piano or guitar, composing original songs, recording CD’s, dancing or just stopping by to see what it is all about. All ages and abilities are welcome. Music therapy is also offered to patients who are confined to beds receiving chemotherapy, blood transfusions or have compromised immune systems. Rock guitarist and singer/songwriter Jonathan Auerbach (www.jonathanauerbach.com) volunteers his time and talent, donates money and helps to raise funds in support of the music therapy program. In March of 2008, Jonathan began teaching a series of master class workshops at DFCI for patients in the music therapy program titled, "Rock-in-Time: a Rock Music Performance Jam". The workshops are interactive, entertaining and instructional. "Music therapy is about safety in song", says Jonathan. "I teach kids who already have the ability to play an instrument to enhance their playing and performance skills. Performing music well while having fun doing it empowers and builds confidence. Each child has unique health challenges, but music is a universal gift: music moves, music frees, music heals."
Jonathan Auerbach é um músico norte-americano residente em Nashville, Tennessee, que vem apresentar o seu novo álbum de originais, “Siren Callâ€.
