Introducing Collaborative Insights: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Musical Care Throughout the Life Course (Monday, 11th July 2022)

Come join us as we launch the new book Collaborative Insights: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Musical Care Throughout the Life Course, edited by Neta Spiro and Katie Rose M. Sanfilippo.

This new book introduces the term musical care: the role that music - music listening as well as music-making - plays in supporting any aspect of people's developmental or health needs. For example physical and mental health, cognitive and behavioural development, and interpersonal relationships. It also:

• provides interdisciplinary insight into how musical care is understood and undertaken during different stages of the life course
• offers a variety of perspectives from practitioners and researchers
• ranges through the entire life course and reflects on the role of musical care at each stage

This event will include:

1. An introduction to the book by the editors.
2. The debut of the animated video series inspired by the book.
   • The series was created in collaboration with Fat Panda and consists of eight short videos with original music by Daniel Chant-Burgess.
3. Invited responses to the book by speakers across a range of disciplines:
   • Professor Raymond MacDonald, Chair of Music Psychology and Improvisation, Music, UK.
   • Professor Helen Odell Miller OBE, Professor of Music Therapy, Director, Cambridge Institute for Music Therapy Research, UK.
