Waiting for an appointment is the most anxious time
Patients arrive early and sit in the queue, thinking about test results and what the doctor will say. In silence the wait drags on, and any sound, a door slam, a conversation at reception, a child crying, becomes an event.
A steady, calm background shortens the perceived wait and lowers the overall tension in the lobby. This isn't aesthetics but a practical matter: a calmer patient asks the front desk fewer anxious questions.
Radio in a medical center is a risk, not a saving
Radio in a clinic is risky for more than the ads. The news covers topics an anxious patient in the queue doesn't need to hear, and ad breaks for neighboring medical services look like advertising for your competitors in your own lobby.
A curated catalog removes both problems: it has no ads and no speech at all.
Its own music in every zone
In a medical center zones differ by how anxious people are in them.
| Zone | What plays | Volume |
|---|---|---|
| Lobby and front desk | Neoclassical, chamber guitarShortens the perceived wait | Noticeable background |
| Waiting area by the exam rooms | Warm pads, quiet pianoAnxiety is highest here | Quiet background |
| Treatment rooms | Soft ambientThe doctor talks with the patient | Very quiet |
| Pediatric department | Bright instrumentalA different mood from the adult lobby | Quiet background |
No PRO fees for our music
A typical background-music service gives you tracks by well-known artists. The rights to those tracks belong to labels and songwriters, so a clinic may also have to deal with a performing rights organization (PRO), such as ASCAP or BMI in the US, PRS for Music in the UK or SOCAN in Canada, on top of the subscription.
Harmonia works differently. Our catalog is original music produced for business use, and a public-performance license for your venue is included in the subscription. Our tracks are not registered with PROs such as ASCAP, BMI, PRS, SOCAN, APRA AMCOS or GEMA, so playing music from our catalog does not create PRO fees for that music.
Launch within one business day
Send an application and we approve it within a business day. After that, the music plays on the devices you already have in the clinic: a tablet at the front desk, a laptop, a mini-PC with a speaker or the building's public-address system.
Staff don't have to pick anything each morning. Playlists and the schedule are set once, then the music starts by itself and doesn't repeat during a shift. For a chain, everything is managed centrally, by location and zone, from one account.
How much it costs
One plan, no bundles and no extra fees for genres or devices. The price depends only on the number of locations and zones.
$12per month for the first location, billed annually
Catalog, player, schedule, subscription agreement and license certificate. $144 a year, or $17/mo billed monthly
$7for each additional location
A chain is managed from one account. $84 a year, or $12/mo billed monthly
$4for a separate zone
Its own playlist and schedule for a separate room. $48 a year, or $5/mo billed monthly
Prices are per month when billed annually, which is the cheapest option. Monthly billing is available and costs more. After your application is approved, we send an invoice or a payment link. Full plan terms
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to pay PRO fees for music in a clinic?
Not for our catalog. Every Harmonia track is original music produced for business use and is not registered with PROs such as ASCAP, BMI, SOCAN, PRS for Music, APRA AMCOS or GEMA. You pay only the subscription, and it includes a public-performance license. A clinic lobby is a public space, and music played there counts as public performance, just like in a cafe.
What music suits a medical center?
Neoclassical, warm pads, chamber guitar and quiet piano, without vocals and without pronounced musical events. Radio doesn't work: ads for medical services in your lobby work for your competitors, and the news raises anxiety in people waiting in the queue.
How much does music for clinics cost per month?
From $12/mo per location when billed annually ($144 a year). Monthly billing is $17/mo. Each additional location in the same company is cheaper: $7/mo billed annually or $12/mo billed monthly. A separate zone with its own playlist is $4/mo billed annually or $5/mo billed monthly. There are no hidden fees for genres or devices.
Can I play Spotify or Apple Music in a clinic?
No. Personal accounts on Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music are licensed for personal, non-commercial listening only, and their terms of service forbid playing them in a business. Music in a public space counts as public performance, which a personal subscription does not cover. You need either a public-performance license from the rights organizations in your country or a catalog that is licensed for business use, like ours.
Can I play separate music for the pediatric department?
Yes. Each zone gets its own playlist and volume: the pediatric department is brighter and livelier than the adult lobby. A zone costs from $4/mo on top of the location.
What do I show during a music licensing inspection?
Two documents: your subscription agreement with Harmonia and the license certificate (PDF) issued for each location. The certificate confirms that the venue holds a public-performance license for our catalog. If a rights organization contacts you, write to legal@harmonia-b2b.com and we will help you with the paperwork.
What happens if I play unlicensed music in a clinic?
Playing music publicly without the right license can lead to claims and fines from performing rights organizations (PROs). The rules and the amounts depend on the country. A subscription to a catalog that includes a public-performance license removes this risk for the music you play from it.
What if I run a chain of clinics?
Each location is connected separately: the first from $12/mo, every additional one from $7/mo when billed annually. Playlists and schedules are set centrally from one account, so staff on site don't have to configure anything.
