Short biography and a description of your interest(s) in music and health: 
I have been the project administrator of a three-year Civil Money Penalty grant funded by the state of NC and Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services. Our six certified music practitioners have been providing weekly bedside therapeutic music in 12 skilled nursing facilities. The project logged over 5000 individual sessions for Oct 1, 2021- Sept 30, 2022. We continue to offer services to residents and patients in additional skilled nursing homes, hospice care centers, and private homes. Our primary instruments are the harp, guitar and voice.
