TRAILER (Episode 3. Music As Medicine)
How would you react if you went to a medical specialist and, instead of pills, they prescribed you singing, drumming, and other forms of music making?
I asked scientist and certified neurologic music therapist Dr. Kyurim Kang of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine to describe music therapy, how it works, and some therapeutic activities that they offer.

Sophia Si:
Welcome to Science, Music and Society. I'm your host, Sophia Si. When I hear the phrase music heals, I think of the ways music comforts people, especially in trying times. But did you know that music, like medicine, can also treat neurological conditions? It can help restore impaired speech and improve physical agility damaged by strokes or other brain injuries. This past summer, I asked the certified neurologic music therapist, Dr. Kyurim Kang of the Center for Music and Medicine at the Johns Hopkins University's School of Medicine, to describe music therapy, how it works, and some therapeutic activities that their center offers.
