"We have musicians here who play for people who've just come out of surgery - a flautist goes up and plays for them and these patients, who are in tremendous pain, at the end of the playing, they are almost pain-free. Now we know that perhaps dopamine is playing a role."
This article from Pittsburgh talks about a program providing music in public spaces in a hospital.
Hi there, I came here via a comment you left on a blog re starting to play horn in your fifties.
ReplyDeleteWell, I started at 47!
And though I wish I had started years ago, I'm loving every minute of it, and soak up any info I can lay my hands on, which I wouldn't have done when younger.
nice to meet you!
Hi! Thanks for stopping by and leaving the comment. I think you're right about there being some advantages to starting horn late. Maybe will do a post on that here sometime.
