Music Therapy: The Healing Power of Sound

New York City has always been a music city. Step off the subway at any hour and you hear it. The Bronx gave the world hip-hop. Brooklyn gave us Jay-Z and the Notorious B.I.G. Queens gave us Run-DMC and Simon and Garfunkel. Staten Island gave us the Wu-Tang Clan. And Manhattan — from the Harlem jazz clubs where Duke Ellington and Miles Davis worked, to the Village where Bob Dylan and Lou Reed changed everything — has been a stage for some of the most important music ever made. That music belongs to this community. And in this episode, we explore what it can do for your health. Senior 360 Health trainer James Francis sits down with Kai Sorensen — podcast producer, music educator, multi-instrumentalist, and touring musician — for a conversation about what music actually does to the brain and body, and how the MTA community can use it as a practical wellness tool every single day.
