Deborah Brown has been meditating for 30 years and has been a professional musician for more than 40 years. In 1996 she began meditating and studying with Jerry Hanna at CSD. As result of her deepening meditation practice, Deborah expanded her work as a musician to include the field of therapeutic music. In 2001 she began training to play live music at the bedside with the Music for Healing and Transition Program (MHTP). She became a Certified Music Practitioner in 2002 and has since worked as a therapeutic musician for Swedish Medical Center, Stevens Hospital, and St. Clare Hospital. She has played her 15-string psaltery at the bedside of hundreds of patients, including hospice patients. Deborah believes that meditation opened her to be guided to this healing work and that meditation helps her tune in to the needs of a patient.
For her Sound and Well-Being training Deborah studied with Pat Moffitt Cook at the Open Ear Center and earned a certificate in 2006 as a Cross Cultural Healing Music Practitioner. In these sessions Deborah uses specially composed recorded music, as well as live music and sound. She may improvise on her psaltery or with her voice, or play rattles, drums, or Native American flute, or she may choose to ring the highly resonant Tibetan bowls. The music resources Deborah chooses are individually selected for the particular needs of a client at each session which can range from pain relief, grief and loss, stress relief, relaxation, to preparation for or recovery from surgery.
Deborah Brown brings years of rich musical experience to her healing work. She was a piano major at New England Conservatory of Music and earned a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Music in Choral Music from Washington University in St. Louis. In addition to her life's work as a music teacher and choral conductor Deborah is also a harpsichordist. In her home studio she offers private and small group sessions in Sound and Well-Being as well as private lessons in piano, harpsichord, and psaltery. Deborah also is available to teach classes in therapeutic music.
