Music medicine, and music therapy clinical practice and research has provided fascinating clues and cues that have enlightened our capacity to use music – from disease to wellness, from the womb to hospice. I will present some of music therapy’s most significant findings and show you ways we can use music to enhance health and incentive.

One of the most powerful and meaningful responses we have to music occurs when a song transports us back to a moment from our lives. In my research, I examine such positive effects of music, including its ability to evoke emotions and memories, in healthy adults and in individuals with brain damage. Through this work I aim to understand why music is such a powerful way to evoke some of our strongest emotional responses.
