Music healing with animals in the news!

Hi Friends,

This is a brand-new blog of mine, created because of yet another article in the news that I saw. I am a huge animal lover and currently belong to a Papillon named Jack. I'll try to get his picture on the site!

Meanwhile, here is the article I saw:

Media expert Dr. Alice H. Cash, has been deluged with questions about how the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart "healed" a clinically depressed elephant.

Yesterday, July 12, a story emerged in media outlets around the world about a a 45-year-old elephant and long-time resident of the Zagreb Zoo,being inconsolable after her pachyderm partner of tens years died of cancer. By coincidence the zoo had organized a concert of classical chamber music right across from Suma's dwelling. At first Suma was anxious and unhappy about the musicians setting up so close to her but once the music started, Suma closed her eyes, leaned against the fence and was motionless throughout the concert. Now the zoo has set up a stereo in her area and she is beginning to feel better and emerge from her depression, thanks to Mozart, Bach and Pachelbel.

Not surprisingly, the animal-loving public wants to understand better how music affects their pets as well as zoo animals and animals in the wild. Dr. Cash is available for interviews on this particular area of music medicine as well as many others.

Please contact her at 502-419-1698 to set up at interview.
