In honor of our kick off for the St. Jude Read-A-Thon, we will be highlighting different aspects of St. Jude's services.
St. Jude provides its patients with a variety of ways to heal. One of those ways is through Music Therapy. Music Therapy is singing, playing instruments, and creating music in a variety of ways. This helps patients learn to express themselves, use their fingers and hands better, and it gives them a way to be creative. Research shows that music is the only thing that lights up every part of the brain at once. It is a powerful tool for helping these children heal. Today’s video is a spotlight on Amy Love. Amy is a music therapist for St. Jude. |
Formed by high school friends Kirstie Maldonado, Mitch Grassi, and Scott Hoying, the group got its initial start after its version of Beyoncé and Lady Gaga's "Telephone," started gaining attention on YouTube. The band then added members Avi Kaplan and Kevin Olusola, renamed itself Pentatonix, and auditioned for The Sing-Off.
