The purpose of this prospective pilot study is to determine if live music therapy reduces patients' perception of pain and anxiety, reduces benzodiazepine use and pain medication use, length of stay in the ICU, and length of stay in hospital, and improves sleep in post-lung transplant patients. The purpose and objectives of the study are the following: * To determine if music therapist delivered patient preferred live music and therapeutic intervention will reduce participant's perceived anxiety in post-lung transplant patients. * To determine if music therapist delivered patient preferred live music and therapeutic intervention will reduce participant's perceived pain in post-lung transplant patients. * To determine if music therapist delivered patient preferred live music and therapeutic intervention in post-lung transplant patients will reduce participant's use of benzodiazepine medication for anxiety. * To determine if music therapist delivered patient preferred live music and therapeutic intervention three times in post-lung transplant patients will reduce participant's use of pain medication. * To determine if music therapist delivered patient preferred live music and therapeutic intervention in post-lung transplant patients will reduce participant's total time of intubation, length of stay in ICU, and length of stay in the hospital. * To determine if music therapist delivered patient preferred live music and therapeutic intervention will improve the quality and length of sleep in post-lung transplant patients.

The three live music therapy sessions will be provided after lung transplant. All three music therapy sessions will employ a variety of data-based interventions to address pain, anxiety, and improve relaxation. Music therapy interventions may include patient preferred live music, active music listening, singing or other active music-making, and guided breathing and relaxation.

Change in Anxiety levels
Comparing the scores from the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) scale before and after music therapy. Scores range between 0-56 where \<17 indicates mild severity, 18-24 mild to moderate severity and 25-30 moderate to severe.
Time frame: Changes from baseline to post-surgery day 6
Change in Pain levels (CPOT)
Comparing the scores from the Critical Care Pain Observation Tool (CPOT) scale before and after music therapy. Scores ranges between 0 (no pain) to 8 (maximum pain).
Time frame: Changes from baseline to post-surgery day 6
Change in Pain levels (Pain number scale)
Comparing the scores from the Pain number scale before and after music therapy. Scores ranges between 0 (no pain) to 10 (maximum pain).
Time frame: Changes from baseline to post-surgery day 6
Change in dosage of benzodiazepine medication
Comparing medication dosage between intervention group vs control group.
Time frame: Changes from baseline to post-surgery day 6
Change in dosage of pain medication
Comparing medication dosage between intervention group vs control group
Time frame: Changes from baseline to post-surgery day 6
Change in length of sleep
Comparing Fitbit data on length of sleep between intervention group vs control group
Time frame: Changes from baseline to post-surgery day 6
Change in length of stay in ICU and in hospital
Comparing length of stay between intervention group vs control group
Time frame: Changes from baseline to post-surgery day 6
Change in total time of intubation
