This course will begin by exploring practices and research from the fields of music, therapy, public health, and medicine, to rigorously explore the relationship between music, health and wellbeing.
As well as engaging in the academic debate around music, health, and wellbeing the course will develop a working knowledge and understanding of the musical practices available to medical and music practitioners, and to their potential uses in a breadth of health care settings.
This course then builds on the foundational exploration of music, health and wellbeing to develop community music based project design and implementation skills working in conjunction with the NHS Grampian Public Engagement team. Successful projects will have the opportunity to be brought to life in live settings following the completion of the course.
