Providing a foundation in religion, repertoire, and research.
Although music therapists in hospice care often work with clients that associate with various world views, there are few sources to address the music utilized by these theologies for end of life. This site will provide a foundation in: key beliefs of the five major religions, relevant research, music repertoire, music and religious resources, and case study examples.
