Music as Medicine congregation members Tiffany Swenson and Doug Gregor

 This service has been inspired by neuroscientist and musician Daniel Levitin's recent book entitled: I Heard There Was a Secret Chord: Music as Medicine.  In the book he explores the current scientific and anecdotal evidence of music's healing effects, detailing how powerful a tool it is for health beyond entertainment.  He recounts how music can alleviate pain, reduce anxiety, aid stroke recovery, and help with conditions like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's by   influencing brain function, mood, and neuroplasticity. Interactive musical elements are being planned.
