MUSIC, WELLBEING AND MENTAL HEALTH CONFERENCE 2019

an RMA, BFE and NAMHE Event

MUSIC, WELLBEING AND MENTAL HEALTH CONFERENCE 2019 BANNER

Individuals and communities’ well-being and mental health can benefit from music listening and performing. Conversely, we are increasingly becoming aware of the physical and mental challenges that music professionals from all areas face. These can be further accentuated when considered in a high-pressure environment such as academia.

Following on from the success of the 2018 event at York St. John University, we are bringing together researchers and practitioners to share their research on the various interrelationships of music, audio, and wellbeing. We look to academia and a range of wider contexts including health, media/entertainment industries and the music performance world.

Free for RMA, BFE and NAMHE members and HCA students and staff.

£10 per day for non-members.

REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED – Please call Rosario Mawby for bookings (details to the left)
