Robinson immersed into music therapy several years ago after playing steel drums for his grandfather while he was recovering from a heart attack at a hospital in Philly.
During his grandfather’s hospital stay, Robinson says nurses and doctors were moved by the performances, which eventually led to his therapeutic work in other hospitals and hospice care around the city.
Robinson has engaged in several projects with Thomas Jefferson University, including teaching a humanities course to medical students and presenting at the hospital’s third annual Philadelphia Trauma Training Conference this summer.
