CURRENT PROJECTS
Does Everyday Music Listening Help Us to Feel Connected?
There is a pressing need to increase people’s access to affordable strategies that help them to feel connected and protect their emotional well-being. This study uses experience sampling methodology to examine everyday music listening as one such strategy.
Indigo Project Event Experiences
There exists a long tradition of using music in therapeutic work; however, little work considers everyday practices (Krause & Davidson, 2021), including the use of music in allied health efforts to support well-being and personal growth. This study examines people’s experiences of music-based community mental health events using a post-event survey, to consider how these might impact upon people’s perceived well-being and willingness to engage in mental health promotion activities.
