The Music-Heals Project (MHP) is the brainchild of Dr. Christopher Duma. After testing nearly 100 patients, it became clear what was loved and what was hated. It became clear that personalized music itself could be used as a therapy for patients with Alzheimer's Disease, Autism, Parkinson's Disease, etc. We took the top 12 compositions as chosen by the patients themselves, and created the "Symphonic Suite for Healing."
Inspired by a 1912 poem by James Oppenheim, Mimi Fariña selected "Bread & Roses" to convey the spirit of the nonprofit she founded in 1974 to bring the healing power of music and other live art to institutionalized children, teens, adults, and elders.
The Music for Healing & Transition Program, Inc.â„¢ (MHTP) professionally trains and certifies musicians to provide live therapeutic music at the bedside to create a healing environment. They collaborate with healthcare facilities and community organizations to educate about, and promote research in, the effectiveness of therapeutic music in the healing process and the life/death transition.

Watching Ricker play is a gift in itself; to know that your concert ticket proceeds benefit amazing charitable works in the GTA is phenomenal. We met Ricker while searching for a name for our organization - it was he who suggested music CAN heal, in reference to Canada and the possibilities that sound and music can have in recovery.
