In this essay we will describe our visit at Louis and Lucille Armstrong Centre for music and music therapy at Beth Israel Medical Centre in New York. We were selected as the 2011 Thanks to the Scandinavians scholars. We will describe the music therapy methods in medicine at different units at the medical centre. We will describe our experiences of the music therapist´s work and the special challenges they meet when working in medicine. Further more we will discuss our experiences from a Scandinavian perspective.
