Hello and welcome to the new website for the Scottish Music and Health Network. The site is for researchers or practitioners, and anyone else who's interested, to highlight music and health research in Scotland, ask what more we could be doing and how, and get robust research going in this field to benefit us all. So please do use, it to communicate, tell people about it, and post messages here about any events or research you think should be publicised on the site. You can set up groups for your particular area of interest on the Groups page.

Mapping the Future for Music and Health Research in Scotland* will involve a workshop discussion. For this, it would be great if people could post here any questions they think research in this field should consider.  There are a few suggestions below by way of a start, but this list is for everyone - please do expand with any questions of your own or thoughts on what's there. Look forward to discussing these with you on the 23rd!

Earlier this year I had the pleasure of being part of collaborative project in which I worked with Drake Music Scotland to produce 'The Deep' which is the debut recording of The Digital Quartet, a group of young disabled musicians. The project involved mentoring the musicians in the composition and production of their own music which was performed using a combination of digital and traditional instruments. The following is a short documentary about the project:

Hello. This facility is for anyone to pose questions to the Network about research they're involved in, thinking about or think should be taking place. I'd like to ask if anyone is currently involved in any research into music and health or wellbeing that this website should have information or links about? If so, let me know!
