Music Therapy Program Seeks To Help Vets Express Themselves
This Veterans Day, we look at a new music therapy program just getting started at the VA Hospital in Providence. It’s a 9-month-long songwriting and guitar playing course. Veterans who commit to the class as part of their therapy learn how to express their thoughts and feelings about their lives & their military service and set them to music. Even Vets who have never played a note before are encouraged to sign up. For The Public’s Radio, Chuck Hinman has our story.
