6.2 Harp to heal animals


Maybe youve heard that music helps people recover from illness. Now a young harpist is using music to heal animals!  Alianna Boone, from Oregon, USA, plays her harp for sick pets. 
A few years ago, she went to a clinic for sick dogs and played her harp for the animals there. Before long, the dogs were resting peacefully and showed fewer signs of pain and illness. Dogs arent the only animals that like music. Cassie, a black and white cow, lives on a farm near Aliannas house. One day Cassie seemed very nervous and wouldnt let anyone come close to her. Alianna wasnt sure what was wrong with Cassie, but she decided to play a CD of her harp songs. The cow quickly fell asleep! The harp is one of the most healing instruments after the human voice, says Alianna.
