"Music to me is very powerful." Hannah Bush is a music therapist. She uses music as a way to improve motor skills, breathing, and make the hospital a less scary place. In a new study, Bush—an assistant professor in the School of Medicine—found that live music performed by a licensed music therapist lowered the heart rates of pediatric patients in critical care. Her study is unique because it focuses on live music intervention for children—rather than adults—on life support.
