I'm just hearing about this occupation today. For those who don't know what it is, this is what they do-
" Music Practitioners provide one-on-one palliative care to the ill and the dying in hospitals, hospices, homes, and other clinical settings. By focusing on a single patient at a time, the practitioner can provide therapeutic music that meets the patient’s needs in the moment, creating a nurturing environment that facilitates healing.
CMPs play unobtrusive, soothing music as a service, not an entertainment. They have found welcoming ears in nursing homes and private homes; delivery rooms and special care nurseries; bedsides of the dying; intensive care, burn, Alzheimer’s, and ambulatory surgery units; psychiatric wards; dialysis centers; operating rooms; and massage and acupuncture clinics." -taken from overallmusic.com
This sounds like a very interesting career and seems like something I might want to pursue. Any body on here that's a Music Practitioner? |

Hope this helps, good luck with your career, and behold the power of music!

I just found out though that the average annual salary of a CMP is 59,000!
Does anyone know if you could do it with bass? | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
