Stony Brook University students bring the gift of live music to those who are usually unable to attend concerts through a student club called Music and Medicine.

The group shares their love for music performance as a form of therapy with hospitals, rehabilitation centers, childcare centers and nursing homes.

Some of the Music and Medicine club members who share live music to help others feel better.

During a recent performance at the Long Island State Veterans Home, the Music and Medicine’s renditions of “Fly Me to the Moon,” and “White Christmas” turned into a rousing sing-along with the audience of residents and staff.

There are currently seven members of Music and Medicine, and the group hopes to expand next semester. Several of them are pre-med, but not all.

“We welcome any majors of any field, regardless of whether they decide to pursue a career in healthcare, as long as they have the passion to help others,” said Yi Gao, sophomore psychology major, and Founder and President of the club.
