This one-day event to develop and promote new research in Scotland into improving health and wellbeing with music was aimed at music practitioners, healthcare professionals, academics and interested members of the public. The morning took the form of a workshop for those with a proposal or research idea that they wish to develop, giving the opportunity to discuss this with a panel of experts. The afternoon seminar consisted of presentations on current research and practice in Scotland, focusing on music and the health of children and young adults.
