How the Field of Arts in Health is Rapidly Growing: Reflections from NOAHCON24 <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Peabody has a much larger Arts in Health presence than I think many realize. Starting in 2015, Peabody and Johns Hopkins Medicine began to collaborate to create programs at the intersection of the arts and health. In fact, this is one of the reasons I initially decided to study at Peabody for my undergraduate degree in 2017. I still remember how miserable I had felt when I was recovering from pneumonia in the hospital as a child, and that experience made me interested in the impact music can bring to the hospital setting.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In March of 2019, I applied and was accepted into Peabody\u2019s Sound Rounds<\/a>, a program which brings musicians to patients\u2019 bedsides. However, shortly after, COVID-19 hit, and the program was put on hiatus. Though bedside music services were put on hold, Music for a While<\/a>, a partner program that brings music to public spaces in the hospital was able to adapt to a virtual format. From the fall of 2019 to spring of 2022, I performed virtual musical programs for patients and staff, and then later was able to play in person. Currently, I am part of the Music for a While program, as well as an Arts in Health intern where I help, and learn how to do arts administrative work.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
