Music and the Mind–-Maritimes: Access to music education
This summer's student and faculty interdisciplinary music research forum will take place on Thursday, August 8, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm in Bill and Denise Andrew Hall, Room 142. Also, there will be a related evening concert in the Dr. Steel Recital Hall at 7:00 pm with a variety of performances.
We invite everyone (campus, community, and government) interested in music from different disciplinary perspectives to attend. Three themes run through the program. The first focuses on musical knowledge, and the second on music and well-being. The third focuses on equitable access to music education in the public school system, integrating the work and ideas with opportunities for input from students and faculty researchers, practitioners (teachers), musicians, and community member attendees.
