Follow music therapist Oliver Jacobson through his work at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital as he visits patients and uses music to help them work through the anxieties and difficulties they face.

Anxiety makes it more difficult for children (as well as other patients, but children are the focus in this video) to heal, and through music therapy anxiety can be alleviated, which speeds up the healing process and/or provides comfort.
