About the Symposium for Music and Health
The Symposium for Music and Health brings together researchers, healthcare professionals, therapists, practitioners, and students working in music and medicine, music and mental health, music and wellbeing, music education, music therapy, and community music. Participants will share research findings, offer workshops/demonstrations of interventions and approaches, and engage in dialogue regarding the current state of and future directions for the field. This event directly responds to a global interest in music and health and the surge of research and practice within musical fields and beyond. Our central question asks: How can music making support human health and wellbeing?
