Janice, This is a great idea you've put together "The Music Therapy Show" we need more great ideas like this.
As a recent music therapy graduate form the University of Dayton, I am very interested in working in a hospice environment similar to what is described in this post.
I can think of nothing that would be more fulfilling than enhancing someone's life at the end of their life. Keep up the good work!
