Abstract
Nursing educators have been constantly striving to develop curriculum which enhances holistic patient care.  Our presentation will demonstrate how we achieved that outcome through music and autosoundscapes.  
Extended Abstract

The purpose of this presentation is twofold:

1.  To demonstrate how we created a very effective on-line credit course from a face-to-face senior level one.  Explored in this course are the healing effects of music and sound as they apply to clients within the health care system.  One of the foci of this interdisciplinary course is moving practitioners from academic study to workplace practice.

2.  To show how the feedback of participants (Nursing, social work, Fine Arts, and Education) is used to shape current and future offerings of this course.
