July 24th, 2015, Long Beach California -
More healing through music will happen in the Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Miller Children's and Women's Hospital thanks to a recent donation of instruments from The Children's Music Fund (CMF) on Friday July 24th, 2015.

CMF donated a REMO RBL Kit which includes a Lullaby Ocean Disc Drum and a Gato Box. The drum emulates the intrauterine sound environment (womb sounds) which promotes sleep in premature babies. This drum was developed by Remo for use in the "First Sounds: Rhythm Breath and Lullaby" Program.*

CMF provides 4 hours of music therapy a week to Miller Children's and Women's Hospital by a board certified Music Therapist with specific NICU certification.

Children's Music Fund is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides musical instruments and music therapy for children with life altering illnesses and chronic conditions and supports research on the effects of music therapy.
