There is a bonus audio CD for each episode including the Pathways theme song, breathing music, instrumental and vocal tracks of each song in that specific episode.

- Pathways makes them laugh and smile, brings back old memories and makes new memories. It’s very positive.
- Anybody can do it. If music isn’t your forte, Pathways makes you feel very comfortable.
- Every time, it’s been a success! Residents are singing, tapping their toes, engaging in conversation, clapping with Briar.
