Partner With Us: Early Adopter Initiative
Music Over Mind is building a national model for live music as a healing intervention. We are seeking founding partners across three research verticals — Oncology, Memory Care, and Grief Support — to co-design programming that earns clinical evidence and scales.
Music as Medicine, Grounded in Research
Reduces Pre-Chemo Anxiety
Live music significantly lowers anxiety metrics for patients before and during chemotherapy sessions — creating a calmer, more hopeful environment.
Builds Social Connection
Interactive music sessions stimulate cognitive engagement and provide meaningful shared experiences for residents with memory loss and their families.
Supports Emotional Expression
Music creates a safe, non-verbal channel for grief — helping bereaved individuals process difficult emotions alongside a trained musician.
Who to Approach & What to Say
Frame every conversation around patient outcomes, not organizational affiliation. Lead with the research verticals that matter most to your network.
Approach
Oncologist, Infusion Nurse, Cancer Center Navigator
What to Say
"Our patients have reported meaningful reductions in pre-treatment anxiety when a musician is present in the infusion suite. Would your institution benefit from a pilot program?"
Connection Type
Direct referral to M.O.M. scheduling; patient opt-in at bedside.
Approach
Memory Care Coordinator, Social Worker, Activities Director
What to Say
"Live music engages residents in ways pre-recorded audio cannot — the shared experience creates connection even for those in moderate stages of dementia. Can we bring a session to your community?"
Connection Type
Regular scheduled programming; family caregiver attendance encouraged.
Approach
Grief Counselor, Hospital Chaplain, Bereavement Coordinator
What to Say
"Music offers something words cannot in bereavement support — a non-clinical space for processing loss. M.O.M. musicians are trained to hold space for grief without trying to fix it. Would your support group benefit from a pilot?"
Connection Type
Single-session or series format; adaptive to group size.
Early-Adopter Benefits
Founding partners receive a level of access and customization that general participants do not.
Priority Scheduling
Your facility gets first access to M.O.M. musician availability before general booking opens.
Program Data Reporting
Quarterly reports on session volume, patient engagement, and outcomes — useful for grants and leadership.
Dedicated Liaison
A single point of contact at M.O.M. for scheduling, feedback, and program customization.
Co-Brand Recognition
Your logo on M.O.M. early-adopter materials, session signage, and impact reports.
“Music can reach patients in ways medication cannot.”
