Full event details

Many claims are made for the importance of music in education, society and everyday life. This session will review some of the research evidence and give you the tools to judge how convincing it is, as well as to reflect on what music means in your own life. Along the way, you'll be getting an introduction to music psychology and its methods and approaches, which are taught in undergraduate modules at every level of our music degree.

This session also includes a Q&A with our academic staff and current students.
