ABSTRACT
Musicians are commonly referred to music therapy in end-of-life care settings under the assumption that past musical training means they are better attuned and more receptive to the health benefits of music. However, their complex musical identities require a music therapist to approach the case with great care and humility to ensure music experiences do not evoke past traumas, mirror past harms, or create new negative associations.
