From producing music on cassette tapes as a child to pursuing a future in music therapy and advocacy, NaTasha Rogers has always believed in the power of music to heal and connect. Discover how the Angelina’s Song Scholarship helped support her on her educational journey, fueled her passion for accessibility, and empowered her mission to create a more inclusive future for musicians and music therapy professionals.

Music therapy is helping premature babies in the NICU stabilize faster, improve feeding, and support brain development, often leading to shorter hospital stays. Beyond clinical benefits, it creates meaningful bonding moments and reduces stress for families, offering a gentle, non-invasive way to promote healing and bring babies home sooner.

At Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, music is now part of the healing process thanks to a new Angelina’s Song jukebox. With help from Jukebox Hero Paramount Vending, patients can choose their favorite songs, bringing comfort, joy, and a sense of normalcy during difficult times. This partnership shows how music can inspire healing and hope for children and families.
