MUSIC IN HOSPITALS
IN NEONATOLOGY AND PEDIATRICS
Organizer:
Musique & Santé (Paris)
Dates: 22 – 26 February 2010
Location: Paris (France)
Workshop #2009-1-FR1-GRU13-06946
Target group: musicians with a regular practice and interested in outreach
actions in hospitals for babies and children, their families and healthcare
staff (professionally or voluntarily)
Working language: English
Regular workshops,
concerts, artistic residencies, music at the patient’s bedside,
ambulatory concerts, reflection on sound ecology… The approaches,
methods and presence of music in neonatology and pediatric units prove
that each location, each member of care staff and each ward are unique.
If the musician’s work is part of an open and flexible dialogue
between health and cultural sectors, it is necessary that musical interventions
be adapted to each situation.
This particular context requires the musician to think about his/her place
and his/her interventions in an original way because playing music in
health settings involves theoretical and practical competences that have
to be reinvented every moment.
