Breaking Through Disciplinary Barriers:  Emerging Approaches in Musical Care

We define musical care as the role of music — music listening as well as music- making — in supporting any aspect of people's developmental or health needs, including physical and mental health, cognitive and behavioural development, and interpersonal relationships. This symposium will explore inter-disciplinary perspectives on broad range of musical care and performing arts practices from private experiences to public ones.Sessions are for practitioners and researchers from a broad range of disciplines and practices. Sessions encourage discussion of cross-discplinary perspectives.
