Musicians On Call (MOC), a nonprofit that brings live and recorded music to the bedsides of patients, families and caregivers in healthcare environments, and Soundscape, a platform providing personalized audio experiences with benefits like enhancing productivity, are coming together in support of the healing power of music.
Both Musicians On Call and Soundscape use music to bring comfort to those in need by reducing stress and improving well-being. Soundscape will donate a portion of every US-based subscription directly to Musicians On Call to support MOC’s programs that deliver live music to patients, families, and caregivers in healthcare settings.
“At Soundscape, we share Musicians On Call’s deep belief in the healing power of music. Music has the ability to bring comfort, hope, and strength in ways few other things can. We are honored to partner with an organization that uses this power to make a real difference in people’s lives,” said Samuel Cyprian, CEO and Co-founder of Soundscape.
“Every day through our bedside and virtual programs we see how profoundly music can impact someone in a stressful environment like a hospital. With just one song, Musicians On Call volunteers bring a sense of relief that has proven physical, mental and emotional benefits for patients, their loved ones and hardworking caregivers,” says MOC President & CEO Pete Griffin, “We are grateful to Soundscape for using their subscriptions to help support our programs.”
For 25 years Musicians On Call has used music to promote and complement the healing process through bedside, virtual and digital streaming programs that are available across all 50 states. MOC believes that all patients, families and caregivers should have access to and benefit from the healing power of live music.
It has been demonstrated that music has a direct effect on people in the hospital and can manage stress, alleviate pain and improve blood pressure, outlook and overall mood. As the nation’s leading provider of live music in hospitals, Musicians On Call volunteers have performed for more than one million individuals in healthcare facilities nationwide. MOC Volunteers perform live for children and adults facing any health challenge, including Veterans recovering in VA facilities, family members supporting loved ones in need and healthcare workers caring for patients.
Soundscape was founded with a simple yet powerful vision: to harness the transformative power of music to help people with their everyday needs. Whether it’s increasing focus, reducing stress, or creating moments of calm, Soundscape builds experiences around music that enhance productivity and well-being.
At its core, Soundscape believes in the ability of music to heal and comfort and is committed to giving back to the community by supporting initiatives that use music for positive change. You can download Soundscape in the App Store or Google Play.
