Music Therapy and Music & Health References and Resources
3rd Edition, February 2014
A free online resource by the Nordoff Robbins Research Department.
Welcome to the third edition of the Nordoff Robbins Evidence Bank, which once again features a wide range of music therapy and music and health research references and resources, organised into a series of ‘Accounts’.
The Evidence Bank forms part of Nordoff Robbins’ research vision, which is to develop research-related resources for practitioners, scholars, and those with an interest in music therapy and music-and-health research. We would like to thank all colleagues – and especially our research interns Charlotte Cripps and Tatiana Sobolewska – who helped us to create this updated edition; as well as the researchers whose dedication and toil contributes to the ongoing development of evidence nationally and internationally. Without their commitment, the Nordoff Robbins Evidence Bank wouldn’t exist!
We hope the Nordoff Robbins Evidence Bank continues to be a useful resource for music therapy and music and health practitioners and researchers; as well as for policy makers, managers and fundraisers who would like to know more about how and why music works.
