Supportive Music Promoting Music Wellness

Anyone who has sung lullabies to a child has been a supportive musician. Supportive music uses music to create a supportive, comforting, and enjoyable environment for individuals of all ages and abilities. Joy Givers often provide supportive music to individuals who are homebound or in assisted-living facilities but the list is not limited.

Supportive music providers do not have to be musicians to employ the following music wellness techniques:

• Listen to and Relate Compassionately to People
• Prepare a Comfortable and Supportive Music Environment
• Hum
• Sing
• Tone
• Play Accessible Rhythm Instruments
