Music For Healing?
Hi Gang...
Anyone here know of someone/place using Sonar to create music for healing?
I'm about to embark on doing some of this and I'd like to hear what else might be going on in this arena...
Anyone?
Thanks!

Do you have a specific focus for this? One of the most impressive videos I have seen is below, of an Alzheimer's patient who was re-animated via music from his day... began talking like a bird afterwards. Music has incredible therapeutic uses on the mind specifically, which will also affect the body - mental state will affect physically healing as well.

Thanks...
I hope I can get a chance to view this, but I currently can't do any streaming here...
Thanks for the response... I have a friend who is already responding to some music "treatments" after suffering from an aneurysm...

Pat Martino is a case you may want to look at. He suffered a brain aneurysm (1980) and after surgery was left with amnesia, but learned to play again by listening to his own recordings. The video in the post above is very similar in that the patient "remembered" based on linkages to the music he was most passionate about from his past. It seems to "create linkages" in the brain that had been either damaged or lost by some event. Pat's specific case is extreme, but he is a genuinely awesome guy. He personally delivered a guitar to a local musician suffering from cancer several years ago during his treatment/recovery. Another story on Pat is in this article.

+20 to the Music and Memory program. I work in a care facility and we just started in February. We have raised enough money for 20 iPads and laptop and couple hundred dollars towards iTunes so far. I also ripped all the CD's we had kicking around. The man who spearheads this, Dan Cohen does live webinars and he is simply amazing. I think all musicians and anybody with friends or family in a care facility needs to get involved. This is grass roots stuff and its growing fast. http://musicandmemory.org/ Anyhow the benefits of music for health, healing and well being are huge. Picking the right tunes is the tricky part. Everybody is different. A few of the little bands I sit in with are all passing the hat to donate to our local program. The community choir and the High school band are also involved. The goal is everyone in our local facilities will have personal music. On a side note I also play music at work a few times a week. I have also sat with palliative clients and played soft music. Music helps people let go and cross over,, it's very powerful.

Thanks!
That's some very interesting leads...
I didn't know about Part Martino...
Music and Memory... I'll have to look into them as well...
I did this on my own for my folks more than a decade ago using music and movies to re-enforce memory and now I've been sending music to my friend (via a caregiver) who has been getting excellent response of many kinds... Even placing a guitar in his hands got him moving his hands! (He was in a coma for a month I believe)...

I work in Sonar (Cakewalk since the late 80s...all revs up to the current Platinum) and have recorded several hundred hours of therapeutic, transformational music. Look at the Harmonies of Light area if you are interested in music and color. Some YouTube videos on the site too. Wonderful results occur with music familiar to the people.

Thanks Jim...
Yes, I remember you as I too have been here since the beginning... ;-)
I just did a quick browse of your site... Nice thing you're into. I love the rig... especially the Moog corner...? I wish I could check out the video, but alas I can't stream these days... Maybe sometime soon... I have always loved meditative music...
...but for my upcoming project, I need to be more focused on memory issues.
...thought the meditative music is a wonderful item all on it's own that he is already appreciating. That and finally getting outdoors for a moment! ;-)

Do you mean physical healing? Emotional healing? Spiritual nourishment and uplifting? Not sure if any of this has anything to do with Sonar per se, but rather more with the kind of harmonies, rhythms, syncopation, and of course melodies the composer chooses. Perhaps I am not understanding the question... Jerry www.jerrygerber.com

Thanks Jerry...
I'm looking to use music for memory healing...
...and you are right. This is not purely Sonar so I guess I should have posted elsewhere, but I was looking for a response from the Sonar community so I thought it might be acceptable...
I'm looking to hear what involvement and situations other Sonar users have familiarity or info about...

The Henry Video went Viral and is one of the most effective messages anybody could ever find on the internet.
I am now part of this quickly growing community of Music and Memory facilitators in North America. Not sure if it has found it's way across the ocean yet.
Our facility is now officially a certified site and we are one of the first in western Canada.
The big difference with personalized music lies with the use of the headphones. It's way different than just sticking music on a getto blaster. The headphones immerse the person in the music. We use these little powered speakers in tandem with the headphones to monitor what they are hearing and levels.

I would also suggest you contact a couple of senior centers in your area to see what they may be aware of, in that vein. Additionally, you could look for one of those organizations at the Federal level, like something along the lines of the National Council for Senior Citizens. Also: https://www.ncoa.org/news/press-releases/musicianfest/ http://www.aging.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/publications/811991.pdf http://www.creativeaging.org/programs-people/cad I hope some of the above helps. WAY kewl stuff, by the way. Both myself and my Mom have spent countless hours playing piano for all kinds of folks - mostly seniors, many with Alzheimer's or other impairments. It is AMAZING to see someone instantly respond to some familiar song, and they plug right back into being able to talk and sing and remember things, when without the music they couldn't recognize their own family sitting there next to them.

If you want to make a difference to a lot of very bored peoples lives. Contact your local care facilities Recreation dept and offer to come in and play for an hour. It is super hard to get volunteer musicians around here.
The old folks love all types of music if played on acoustic instruments. Your dealing with people that have been exposed to a wide range of music, unlike people today.
They remember the roaring 20's, the big bands, Buddy Holly and Elvis, the Beatles and 60's and even (Gag) Tom Jones , Willie Nelson, Hank Williams and on and on. Most Facilities keep a sort of in tune piano on hand.
You'll never find a more appreciative audience even if your not that accomplished or smooth.
I love my job. Where else can a Musician get payed to play any old song that pops into their head and you need nothing but an guitar. You might need a small PA if they have more than 30 people in a large room, but most of my sing a longs I do unplugged,, but then I have a very loud voice.
