Welcome to the NCACE October Bulletin.
Check out our latest blog, Music and Parkinson’s: A Collaborative Approach to Making New Music, by Professor Michelle Phillips, Director of Creative Manchester and Professor of Music, University of Manchester.
Music and Parkinson’s: A Collaborative Approach to Making New Music
This blog outlines a collaborative project I led during my time as Head of Enterprise (Academic) at the Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM), designed to expand how music can support people living with Parkinson’s in their daily lives - whether to aid movement, lift mood, or encourage relaxation. Staff and student composers at the RNCM worked with researchers and individuals with Parkinson’s to create new, bespoke pieces of music, crafted both with them and for them.
We are keen to hear about your collaborative projects or related works and invite you to contribute to our blog. You can read our current blog posts on our website and can access the NCACE Blog Guidelines here. For further information contact Noshin Sultan on noshin.sultan@sas.ac.uk.
