Inova Music Therapy
Art, Dance/Movement, and Music Therapy

O.A.R. has partnered with the Inova Children's Hospital mission since 2018 to provide music therapy for its young patients.

What is music therapy?

This form of therapy is often used in hospitals and other care centers. It helps people to relax and is especially helpful for babies and children. Music therapy may also be used for people who have burns, cancer, or cerebral palsy. It has also been shown to work well for people with other brain disorders and neurological conditions, such as Alzheimer disease.
