Make Joyful Noise: Music Volunteer

Share your musical talent with a hospice patient. Play bedside to help them relax or play them some funky music, golden oldies, hymns, meditative music, or Metallica - if that's what the patient wants. Music is such a powerful tool, even dementia patients who might not be able to speak coherently, can sometimes sing all the verses of the Johnny Cash songs you play.
Must pass a background check, take a TB test, complete hospice volunteer orientation at your own rhythm, and mentor with hospice staff.
If you haven't seen "Alive Inside," you can find it on youtube. It is a testimony to the power of music.
