wonderful moments in the children's hospital

I would love to share a few of my wonderful moments with you in music therapy!




In the childrens hospital,
A lot of children are in great pain,living their lives in the hospital,not knowing when or where they can be free again. Also,with lots of discomfort,they often find it hard to adapt to the environment in hospital. Imagine a young child at their age,they couldnt express feeling either. They dont know how they should feel,except parents keep telling them to do whatever is needed. What is the best thing of the day?

On request,the music therapist and I went to see a child in his room. As we entered the room,he was with his mom,playing computer games. That was his only friend that could always company him. As he seemed to look bored and dull,we said hi to him and invited him to join us for the music therapy session. As we started inviting him to join in with music,he started smile a lot more!As the music therapist encouraged him to try more on the drums,he became more excited and he was also amazed!

He got fascinated when water came splashing up like a mini fountain on the tibetian bowl,that was sitting on his lap,where he laid on his bed. He shouted WOW and also laughed and giggled cheerfully. His mom said,this is the best day in his hospital!

In 60 minutes' time,he has found his joy and his positive experience in the hospital.

Music cam be a tool to  connect the lost minds,a tool to light up the bored.
It is also be a social avenue to the ones who has lost.
