Abstract
A remarkable body of excellent research verifying the benefits of music for the brain has already been published, but is generally unknown to the consumer [1]. If this knowledge could be channeled directly to consumers, the result would be a revolution of the health-care system, as millions of consumers learn of the confirmed benefits of science-based music protocols as described by Thaut (2014) to help persons with motor, speech, cognition, and pain management challenges. Requests for services that deliver research-based protocols would be greatly expanded, and upon delivery of these services, the societal paradigms of how music is perceived would expand. In addition, accompanying metadata would be produced to support further organizational growth of music into health care. To accomplish this transformation, new paths of dissemination and advocacy must be created to channel the research information to a general audience (Summa-Chadwick, 2020).
