calming music by john barnard
I am a West Australian musician, who was compelled to write my first piece of music in an effort to express how I felt at that time. My music has been used around the world in many environments to calm, for instance, hospital patients, those in need of comfort, in alternative therapy clinics, doctors and dentists waiting rooms and by parents of young children.
This music has been sought after by libraries, resource centers, and church organizations to provide a reflective and soothing atmosphere for those in need of comfort. Significantly, British Airways selected my music for air play on their in-flight relaxation radio channel and continued to play two albums, back to back, for over two years on all long haul flights world wide with very humbling, yet positive feedback.
