Preliminary Programme

The focus of this symposium is on families across the age span, from music therapy work with children and their families to practice with elderly people and their relatives. We are planning a lively programme of innovative, multidisciplinary, interactive sessions and presentations which will encourage discussion about a broad range of approaches when working with families. The central aim of this event is to provide an opportunity for professional and lively face to face exchange among music therapists working with families.
