​Music Can Heal is a non-profit organization that brings peaceful, healing music to patients in need, be it to their bedside, within a hospital, hospice or to their private residences.
Many of our musicians are internationally acclaimed, award-winning instrumentalists and trained sound practitioners who play their instruments with the intention to heal. Read what the experts are saying about sound and recovery here.
What to Expect During A Performance
Many clients feel a lift of spirits after the performances. Whether a one-time concert or a series to assist with transition, recovery or general well-being, music can and does help to heal our spirits, souls and bodies. We provide private, bedside concerts by trained professionals or general atrium concerts by award-winning musicians.
Watch a video of one of our interactive-educational concerts featuring multi-instrumentalist and educator, Ann-Marie Boudreau, at Mosaic Homecare's 2014 Senior's Month. This is one of many examples of our services. To learn more, please contact us.

​"Many thanks for organizing and performing the amazing concerts in the Music for the Heart & Soul program at Toronto General Hospital. Everyone truly enjoyed your talented and exciting performances. A special thank you to Ram Vakkalanka, Ann-Marie Boudreau and Darren Austin Hall. I found the "Quartz Crystal Bowls" such a relaxing and healing influence on me and I am sure that the patients felt the same way. All of us found that your concert was highly appropriate in a hospital setting.​"​
- Pirkko Shalden, Volunteer Resources Program Coordinator, Toronto General Hospital
​"I've attended two of your concerts at the Toronto General Hospital Atrium and was amazed at the array of musicians and instruments. My favorite was the hour-long blues and ragtime concert by Bill Westcott! His skill and knowledge of blues, ragtime and jazz was astonishing and a great way to spend my lunch hour. Thanks for all that you do." ~ Audience member, Toronto General Hospital "Heart & Soul" Music Series, November 2012..​"​
