Creative and Dreams Music Network, LLC and Fred Cannon KCHS are proud to welcome David Hansen, MD and his wonderful music.
Research tells us that music therapy provides amazing psychological benefits to individuals. Music therapy relaxes regenerates and energizes both the body and mind. It has also been proven to alleviate pain, expedite the recovery process and improve cognitive performance. Other recent studies suggest that relaxing music can have a substantial impact on the nervous system, reducing stress and depression, improving motivation and moods, and enhancing performance and endurance.
David Hansen, MD, began taking piano lessons at the age of six, when his mother noticed he was teaching himself to pick out tunes on their home piano. He later attended Amherst College, where he studied music composition and graduated summa cum laude in 1976 with majors in both chemistry and music. After receiving a medical degree from Cornell University, Dr. Hansen continued his education as an intern and resident in internal medicine at the University of Chicago, followed by a cardiology fellowship at Stanford University. He and his wife Christina moved to Nashville in 1987, where he joined the faculty at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine as a cardiologist, clinician-scientist and teacher. Dr. Hansen is deeply devoted to his wife, four children, medical career and his patients, but he also maintains his musical skills as a pianist and composer.
The idea for Songs of Healing came from one of Dr. Hansen’s patients, Fred Cannon, who recounted the psychological stress he experienced while hospitalized for open-heart surgery. Cannon, CEO of Creative and Dreams Music Network, encouraged Dr. Hansen to combine his medical and musical expertise to compose music that would have a comforting effect on those in need of healing in a wide variety of clinical settings. Whether you are a physician, patient, caregiver or administrator, we believe this album, Songs of Healing, will serve as a balm for your heart and soul.
Please enjoy and share,
“It all begins with a creative dream”

Testimonials
Dr. David Hansen’s music was such a blessing for my sister who passed away from bladder cancer. When the pain would get so bad and she would just need to sleep she would say ‘put Dr. Hansen’s music on’ and she would go to sleep. This music should be used in every hospital and home for pain relief and relaxation.” -Rose Drake
“The beautiful music by Dr David Hansen brings life into focus when one is stressed and dealing with anxiety. Driving in the pouring rain with heavy traffic I put the CD in and went into a calm mode. It has become my go to music when I need to stop and relax. I can certainly see how SONGS OF HEALING would be an asset in a hospital setting or anywhere one would want to take a deep breath and just let go.” -Gloria, Georgia
Today was a pain 13 level today. Fibromyalgia is the mystery disease. No treatment. I accessed the healing CD. I fell asleep quickly. I’ve been giving thanks to our Divine One for Fred and Dr Hansen. I know a lot about healing music and this is superb! Every cardiac and Parkinson’s unit worldwide should have this streaming. My heart is in love with the creations you have made.” -Nilla , Phoenix
