What is a MUSIC CARE CONFERENCE?
The MUSIC CARE CONFERENCE is a national conference bringing together community members who are interested in music and care. This educational and inspirational conference identifies and integrates common themes and issues using music across the care spectrum and highlights the social and wellness implications of music in care.
Presenters are experts in their field either through academic training clinical or life experience. Participants include allied healthcare providers, paid and unpaid caregivers, care receivers, musicians, faith-based and community agencies, educators, students and the community-at-large.
Participants will experience:
- The healing power of music
- An expanded understanding of the role that music plays in health and wellness
- A heightened awareness of new music care resources, technologies, research, methodologies, stakeholders, and musical effects in care
- Opportunities to network with like-minded professionals
- Engaging evidence-based workshops and sessions
