One of the keynote speakers was Dr Joanne Loewy, Music Therapist at the Louis Armstrong Music Therapy Centre at the Beth Israel Medical Centre in New York City. Her paper gave a general overview of how music therapy forms part of mainstream treatment in an increasing number of hospitals and medical facilities throughout the USA.
Dr Gilbertson explained that a lot of contacts were made at the conference and that these would prove invaluable in developing the area.
"You could really see that people are interested in adding music therapy to the repertoire of healthcare in Ireland, specifically in Limerick, where it has been shown to be possible," he explained.
