Sunita's Hospital Program

Sunita is now on the staff of Schneider Children's Hospital in Petah Tikvah near Tel Aviv, playing one day/week primarily in Oncology and Intensive Care.

Recently she also began a program at the hospital for children with hearing implants. 'Harpsicles' , a harp developed by Wm. Rees Instruments, will be used with the children to develop an appreciation of music with a long term goal of increasing pitch perception.
