You know, people ask me this all the time and the answer is no! Of course music therapists are trained professionally to administer music to people but if you can carry a tune, play an instrument of any kind or just play some CD's, tapes, or records of the oldies from a person's courting years, you can bring some musical healing. Live music is always better than recorded and most elderly are extremely non-critical and appreciate every effort to be helpful. Give it a try!
