Thought this might be of interest to some people in this network. It is a short documentary about a project called 'Layers' that I was involved with in collaboration with Drake Music Scotland. The project involved working with members of The Digital Ensemble to write and produce a new track. You can see the documentary here:

Delighted to confirm this week that the Cheyne Gang COPD choir from Stockbridge will be giving a short performance at lunchtime during our Developing Research on Music and Health event on March 2nd! Full programme is on the Events page, & more about the choir at http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/lung-disease-patients-form-choir-as-therapy-1-3349049
Our new paper reviewing the evidence for how improvisation contributes to the effects of music on health was published in Psychology of Wellbeing journal in December. It's freely accessible online (http://www.psywb.com/content/4/1/20). All of the published evidence that turned up in the searches related to the use of improvisation in music therapy; results suggest a model for the separate effects of improvisation, and lots of directions for future research! Would be very interested to hear what others think.
Developing the Evidence for arts therapies and arts and health practices - a workshop organised by Nordoff-Robbins Foundation, may be of interest to network members. It's aimed at arts therapists, art and health practitioners and students looking to develop practical skills in how to monitor and evaluate services. Facilitators are Prof Mercedes Pavlicevic and Giorgis Tsiris, two leading authorities on music therapy.

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!
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!
