The great saxophonist Charlie Parker once proclaimed "if you don't
live it, it won't come out of your horn". This quote has often been
used to explain the hedonistic lifestyle of many jazz greats;
however, but it also signals the reciprocal and inextricable
relationship between music and wider social, cultural and
psychological variables. This link is complex and multifaceted and
is undoubtedly a central component of why music has been implicated
as a therapeutic agent in vast swathes of contemporary research
studies. Music is always about more than just acoustic events or
notes on a page. Music has a universal and timeless potential to
influence how we feel. Yet, only recently, have researchers begun
to explore and understand the positive effects that music can have
on our wellbeing - across a range of cultures and musical genres.
This book brings together research from music psychology, therapy,
public health, and medicine, to explore the relationship between
music, health and wellbeing. It presents a range of chapters from
internationally recognised experts, resulting in a comprehensive,
multidisciplinary, and pluralistic account of recent advances and
applications in both clinical and non-clinical practice and
research. Some of the questions explored include: what is the
nature of the scientific evidence to support the relationship
between music, health and wellbeing? What are the current views
from different disciplines on empirical observations and
methodological issues concerning the effects of musical
interventions on health-related processes? What are the mechanisms
which drive these effects and how can they be utilised for building
robust theoretical frameworks for future work? For the first time,
research from disciplines including neuroscience of music, music
therapy, psychophysiology and epidemiology of music, community
music and music education is synthesised and presented together to
further our understanding of music and health in one single volume,
ensuring that closely related strands of research in different
disciplines are brought together into a authoritative,
comprehensive and robust collection of chapters. This book is a
timely and unique response to an explosion of interest in the
relationship between music, health, and wellbeing and will be
invaluable resources for students, administrators and researchers
in the humanities, social and medical sciences alike.
