Help Saturn Bring Healing Through Music
Donation protected
Hey y'all, my name is Chinomnso, but I also go by the creative alias "Saturn." I'm a Junior Music Therapy Major attending Howard University from NJ. As I approach the second semester of my Junior year, I have grown an interest in learning how to play the Handpan. As a Music Therapist, my role is to use music as a means of therapeutic care, addressing many demographics of clients and their needs. Music therapy is indeed a healthcare profession that serves as a way to improve QoL (quality of life) within any client. With the incorporation of the Handpan, I know I can achieve a substantial level of healing for clients in the near future. In a usual music therapy session, an MT can utilize techniques for relaxation either at the beginning or the end of a session. Whether the goal is to entrain the client into a state of relaxation compared to their state upon entering or create a zen-like state upon exit, the Handpan is a great instrument for assisted relaxation.
I also understand the personal healing it could provide me within the process of learning it and curating a playing style that fits my voice and state of being. All this to say, handpans are pretty pricey, ranging from $500-$1000+. And though I don't know how to play it yet, I am adamant about learning with an instrument that reflects the quality I wish to attain in due time. With that being said, all donations will go directly to the purchase of this Handpan and will be removed after the goal is reached. I appreciate the time you've taken to read this, and if you can't donate, that's alright; I would appreciate a share or repost on your social media pages! Thanks in advance!
