Music Is Medicine — Becoming Human
A powerful, science-informed musical presentation exploring how sound, vibration, and music support healing, connection, and humanity.
About the Presentation
Music is Medicine is an emotional and engaging therapeutic musical presentation that explores the healing power of music through science, storytelling, and lived experience.
Brynn weaves together the science of frequencies, vibration, and organized sound—what we know as music—with deeply moving stories drawn directly from patients’ bedsides in medical facilities. This presentation offers audiences a rare intersection of art, medicine, and humanity.
Insightful, compassionate, and unforgettable, Music Is Medicine speaks to both the intellect and the heart—and is not to be missed.

Brynn's album
This album is a curated collection of some of the most effective therapeutic songs from Brynn Albanese’s work as a Certified Music Practitioner. Drawing on the intrinsic elements of music, these pieces are designed to meet listeners where they are—emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
The repertoire reflects years of bedside practice, featuring songs that resonate deeply, awaken memory, and gently surface emotions that may have long been dormant. While Brynn often adapts and improvises music in real-time to support individual patient needs, this album presents each piece in its full musical form, offering a listening experience rooted in healing, presence, and humanity.
