“Social Music as a Prescription for Maintaining Wellness” is an article by renowned U.S. jazz musician Jon Batiste and Joanne Loewy, Director of the Department of Music Therapy and Professor at New York City’s Icahn School of Medicine. Together, the authors explore how music can treat social aspects of human challenges, influence the way people relate within a community, and increase how we value connectedness and intimate relationships. The article appears in the journal Voices: A World Forum for Music Therapy, Vol. 26, No. 1 (2026).
