Sound On The Sound: The healing power of music

Music is routinely used in therapy by mental health professionals. Musicians also use music as a medium to find emotional catharsis. UConn's Madison Gardner spoke to New London therapist Janelle Posey-Green and musician Daphne Parker Powell – who now lives in New Orleans but was previously based in New London – about the healing power of music.

About the Sound On The Sound series

Under the direction of instructors Gail B. MacDonald, a UConn professor in residence and former Day reporter, and Carlos Virgen, The Day's assistant managing editor for audience development, UConn journalism students worked all semester crafting stories in text, audio and photographs that strive to tell parts of the overarching tale of music in New London. They spoke to musicians, business people, city and regional officials, educators and others to inform their work. These stories will be published in The Day and on theday.com
