Dear Colleagues,
Inaugural Nordoff Robbins Plus Conference
Music and Communication: Music Therapy and Music Psychology
20th September 2013, Nordoff Robbins, London Centre
One of the key reasons people engage with music, whether as performers,
listeners, therapists, researchers, or teachers, is because of its
communicative potential. We would like to explore together with you what we
mean by music and communication and would like to invite you to our
conference on Music and communication: Music Therapy and Music Psychology,
at Nordoff Robbins, London Centre, UK, on the 20th of September, 2013.
This will be the first in a series of Nordoff Robbins Plus Conferences. The
series aims to provide multi-disciplinary and cross institutional thinking
– each time we will be organising the conference with another institution.
This time we are working with the Centre for Music and Science, Faculty of
Music, University of Cambridge.
The conference will bring together leading researchers and practitioners
from different areas related to music and communication. We will begin with
invited keynote papers by Ian Cross (music psychology, University of
Cambridge) and Felicity North (music therapy, Nordoff Robbins) and
responses from the perspectives of music therapy and music psychology from
Jörg Fachner (Anglia Ruskin University), Elaine Chew (Queen Mary,
University of London), Gary Ansdell (Nordoff Robbins) and Tessa Watson
(University of Roehampton).
These will be followed by poster presentations and group and panel
discussions arranged around the following question:
What should we all know about music and communication?
Abstracts for submissions of posters that report on empirical and
theoretical research on music and communication are invited. These
contributions are welcome from a broad range of disciplines, including but
not limited to the following: Cognitive science, Composition, Education,
Linguistics, Neuroscience, Performance studies, Philosophy, Psychology,
Psychoacoustics, Sociology, and Therapy.
Submission guidelines and dates

On the day, there will be space for posters of size A1.
Abstract submission deadline: 14th June 2013.
