Mercy Music: Home
In 2011 Mercy Music "Musicianaries" brought over 800 hours of healing music to the suffering in hospice, senior centers, Alzheimer's Homes, prison, Mental Health Centers, homeless shelters and private homes.
We sent thousands of dollars to support musical education in gang-ridden areas outside of Guatemala City, Guatemala. Children who would otherwise have no hope of learning a musical instrument.
We provided young musicians with instruments in an El Salvador orphanage and in Haiti.
Thanks for stopping by our site! We are a unique organization and love what we do!
"...bringing comfort and encouragement to the suffering through the gift of music."
Mercy Music "Musicianaries" bring a heart to serve the suffering with the gift of live music to the bedside of patients in hospitals, hospice and private homes.
Therapeutic music can reduce anxiety in patients, help alleviate pain and even regulate heart rate and blood pressure. Mercy Music’s trained Therapeutic Musicians provide a service to patients in clinical settings. With a gentle bedside manner and a compassionate approach, patients, health-care staff and caregivers alike experience a relaxing atmosphere that creates an environment conducive to healing of all kinds... physical, emotional and relational.
“...the guitar playing is so beautiful. It sounds like bells and light”

Live music brings a sense of peace…it can reduce situational anxiety, facilitate communication and create a healing environment that encourages meaningful emotional expression. Music can create an atmosphere of beauty, peace, and reverence for participants in therapeutic settings. Live music can help restore the human spirit. Mercy Music comes with a message of hope into residential treatment facilities, drug and alcohol rehab programs and correctional facilities.
