In postoperative patients following total joint replacement, 75 % of the patients complain of inadequately controlled moderate to severe pain (De Luca et al., 2018).

Composing A Comprehensive Music Education: Teacher And Student Experiences With The Role Of Songwriting In Elementary General Music, Tara Neeley
Master's Theses
Music education has for many years focused on the musical role of performance and teaching from the traditional canon of Western classical music.
