Pediatric Rounds is the remarkable CD inspired by pediatrics and the music therapy profession. It was recorded by emergency medicine physician and master cellist, Eric Roter “E.R.” Dr. Roter was introduced to music therapy while attending the Juilliard School. He observed a music therapist who worked with blind pediatric patients. These children took great pride in their accomplishments, and several displayed extraordinary musical talent.

Dr. Roter completed his musical studies at the Manhattan School of Music with the legendary cellist Nathaniel Rosen before deciding to become a physician. He received his M.D. from Case Western Reserve School of Medicine and became Board Certified in Emergency Medicine. Since then, he has treated thousands of patients but has never lost his love of music or the cello. In 2004, he decided to record a group of cello masterpieces which he could “prescribe” to people to help them feel better. He alternated between the E.R. and the recording studio and merged his dual backgrounds to create, with concert pianist Michael Schneider, this unique CD. The overwhelming positive response inspired Dr. Roter to develop www.ERMusic.Org, a website devoted to the exploration of music and medicine.

Dr. Roter also created his own Prescriptune™ to accompany his recording. This unique “prescription,” personalized with the recipient’s name, is embossed with the E.R. Music logo and bears the serial number of the autographed CD. It is truly a one-of-a-kind prescription for feeling great and is the perfect gift for all ages.
