Our Mission

Through the scientific explorations of music and the brain, the Institute for Music and Neurologic Function seeks to establish new knowledge and develop more effective therapies which awaken, stimulate and heal through the extraordinary power of music.

The Institute for Music and Neurologic Function was founded by the Beth Abraham Family of Health Services in 1995 to restore, maintain and improve people's physical, emotional and neurologic functioning through the systematic use of music.

The Institute, considered a preeminent authority in clinical music therapy research and education, offers a variety of resources:

  • Expertise in treating neurological conditioned diseases such as stroke, trauma, dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and other diseases and conditions.
  • Vast clinical experience applying music therapy techniques in diverse client populations.
  • Internationally and nationally recognized training programs in music therapy.

In order to support our mission, the Institute for Music and Neurologic Function relies upon the generosity of individuals, corporations and foundations.
