Project title
Description of initiative
The think tank Music & Health is an interdisciplinary community of action made up of organizations and experts who want to create a healthier life with music. The initiative started especially as a response to several Danish studies that show that music has a real health-promoting effect and that 3 out of 4 Danes believe in music's health-promoting effect. In order to prioritize music as a strategic part of the health care system, a number of patient associations, researchers, doctors, music therapists, composers, and representatives from regions and municipalities have joined forces in a community of action. The main purpose of the Think tank Music & Health community is to equip decision-makers and practitioners to use music as a key instrument in healing practices.
