Welcome!

Welcome to my new Blog! It is called "Musical Tales at Hospice" because that is what I do - create a musical "tale" at our local Hospice center, called Solace, by improvising a song on my flute. I visit each patient, "tune" into their spirit and energy, and then let that spirit express itself through my flute. It is THEIR song, coming from THEIR spirit, unique to each patient. I never know what the tune will be...I just allow it to flow.

I have been offering this service for almost 2 years inspired by the passing of a neighbor who enjoyed hospice musicians at the end of his life. Through this service, I have enjoyed bringing comfort, joy, and peace to those precious souls who are close to making their transitions. The purpose of this blog is to share some of these heart warming experiences, so that families and patients can know that this "end of life" can be beautiful and peaceful, and not something to be feared.

A special day playing for families of loved ones and for those patients who enjoy the music. One lady said "your music matches my heartbeat". Another lady said she got goosebumps and how the music made her feel special, once she realized that the tunes were "hers". I just get out of my own way and let their spirit express itself through my flute. She was amazed by this and got wide eyed as I explained, and then smiled so big. It made my day special too.
