Part songwriting workshop, and part guided-research practice, the Songwrights’ Apothecary Lab (SAL), provides a structure for the collaborative development of new compositions designed to offer enhanced therapeutic benefit to listeners/participants.

Musicians, music students, arts-based therapeutic practitioners, and students in related fields gatherto research and collaborate in the creation of new/original music devised to offer therapeutic benefit. Each step of our process will be supported and witnessed by experienced practitioners working at the intersection of various medical and therapeutic fields (ex: neuroscience, music therapy, psychology, public health, etc.) and music.

In this hands-on, community-engaged course, expect to learn via repeated practice how to craft andresearch collaboratively across therapeutic and music disciplines, and create music with enhanced therapeutic potential/application. This course also emphasizes and leads participants through developing multi-modal forms ofevaluating recipient/patient/listener experience.
