Music Research Opportunity

We are launching a research study this fall by a collaborative team of researchers from the BCBWP, UBC’s School of Music, UBC’s Faculty of Education and others. This research study is in support of The SingWell Project, a SSHRC Partnership Grant funded initiative which explores group singing as a meaningful social activity for people living with communication challenges.

Do you have a chronic neurological condition? Are you a care partner for a person with a chronic neurological condition? Are you a 50+ resident in Metro Vancouver who enjoys singing? If any of this applies to you and you would like to participate in a Music Research Study, we would like to hear from you. Please send us an email via this link or leave a voicemail at 604-827-4386 to indicate your interest.

Deadline is this Friday, September 15, 2023.
