A young musician with autism has volunteered hundreds of hours to play music for hospital patients. He has perfect pitch and synesthesia, a relatively rare condition that causes senses to overlap. This condition affects an estimated 2% to 4% of people. By playing music, he gives patients a reason to smile and a break from their difficulties.

His volunteering has also helped him build confidence, independence, and a sense of purpose. Music has created a connection with patients when traditional communication is difficult. Further details about his story and experiences are available from the source.

The musician plays by ear, offering performances at a hospital, specifically at TriStar Summit. His efforts have a positive impact on both himself and the patients he plays for.
