MACMILLAN Music, Health and Wellbeing: Exploring Music for Health Equity

This Palgrave Macmillan book examines how music addresses health inequalities and the social determinants of wellbeing. It explores music participation as both a determinant of wellbeing and a transformative tool for creating wider social, cultural and environmental change. The volume conceptualises health and wellbeing outcomes on a continuum, identifying potential effects at individual, community and societal levels. While arts therapy approaches are included, the primary focus is on music making outside clinical settings, offering readers a comprehensive exploration of music's role in promoting health equity and supporting social justice initiatives across diverse populations.
