Rockin' Time Jam - Pediatric Music Therapy, Dana Farber Cancer Institute

Jonathan Auerbach, guitarist and singer/songwriter volunteers his time and talent, donates money and helps raise funds in support of the music therapy program at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. 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 workshop will be interactive and entertaining as well as instructional. “Music therapy is about safety in song,” says Jonathan. “I’ll be teaching 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.”
