I am Robert “Bobby” Berger; I am a Certified Music Practitioner; certified to perform therapeutic music to patients at the bedside. I can also perform for other venues using my skills to heal. I have performed live therapeutic music sessions in various venues such as; hospital, skilled nursing facility, day habilitation, retirement home, and online. I have an expansive selection to perform to meet the needs. Therapeutic music a valued medium reaching people in crisis. Live therapeutic music is non-invasive and can heal without the danger of invasive medicine. Live Therapeutic Music gives the patient in the moment experience that is lacking confined to a bed or wheelchair for example. Live therapeutic Music is tailored to the needs of the patient either their moods or level of pain.

At this time with concerns of COVID-19 I am able to perform Virtual Live Therapeutic Music through the internet either with iPads or other computer equipment.

Working as a CMP, there are many attributes I love being involved with. There are many skills acquired throughout my years that apply. I enjoy sharing my love of music. I get satisfaction reaching others and the results helping them get through their struggles communicating through my music.

Stories of my experience:
I was in the hospital going to my next patient; in the elevator, a man commented it was nice I was performing for people. I asked him if he wanted me to perform for who he was visiting where he commented his wife is in a coma. I said I would be happy to play for her and can be therapeutic. We went to her room and his daughters were there. He asked me if I knew the song 500 Miles; I told him I don’t remember all the words and I didn’t have it on file; we all sang with such beautiful harmony. His wife although in a coma, displayed very positive readings on the monitor showing of many things her blood pressure went way down. The next time I visited, he said before I originally came, they were approached by the nurses and the doctor to consider removing life support. Following my original visit, the decided to keep her on life support.

Finishing the day on Neuro ICU and closing out at the nurses station, one nurse told me a patient’s daughter was really stressing out and was having difficulty accepting the staff couldn’t do enough. The daughter saw me across the hall and asked if I could play for her mother; I accepted happily.
I played appropriate music for the patient which was also pleasant for her daughter. Following a few songs and instrumentals, her daughter asked me if I knew and Jewish songs. I replied I did and played some standards. She was so elated and relaxed; her mother (actually the patient) relaxed also.

I'd like to share a rather unusual and free aces prevention resource...parenting tips bumper stickers! Advancing Parenting, a Camarillo, CA nonprofit, produces parenting tips bumper stickers and makes them available at no cost to schools, businesses, organizations, clinics, and individuals. There are fifty-one in a set and each bumper sticker communicates a parenting behavior or practice generally recognized as supporting the healthy development of children. Just one will be read thousands of times!

Bumper stickers are a unique and powerful way to educate everyone about parenting and prevent child abuse five, ten, twenty, fifty years down the road. At stoplights drivers and passengers point, smile, and nod. Conversations begin and often a phone is used to take a photo of the sticker right at the stoplight. Presumably, they are being shared on social media. It's wonderful to see!

Sets of the stickers can be put in holders and placed on counters and tables so folks can select one or more for their cars. Visit www.advancingparenting.org to request this free resource. Use a computer...our website is not optimized for phones. Please share.
