Many nursing homes are equipped with technology. Through teleconferencing via the home, we can provide music enrichment to a large portion of residents who may not otherwise have access to music experiences. Additionally, many individuals have access to their own technology. Whether it be through a smart phone or computer, we find that communication with loved ones is still possible over a distance. With the assistance of staff and caregivers, it is our hope that we can help older adults utilize this technology and foster a therapeutic experience.

Upstate Music Therapy Center currently offers a selection of online music opportunities.
