You are invited to our Open House at IMNF

[Guest guest]

Happy New Year from Benedikte.

Dear Friends:

We've moved!

We’re so proud of our new space that we’re inviting you to our Open House, January 25th, from 12:00p.m. - 4:00 p.m., so you can see firsthand all our programs and services.

We now have dedicated areas to develop a neuroscience lab, a pediatric treatment center, an enhanced music studio, an expanded library, a music meditation studio, a video archiving lab and much more.

Festivities for the day will include musical and educational demonstrations and discussions involving our music therapists, patients and experts in the field. Prof. Dorit Amir, D.A., CMT will deliver a keynote presentation on "Being a music therapist and a qualitative researcher –contradiction or completion?" at 1:00p.m. At 3:00p.m., music therapist Marlon Sobol will lead a “Drumming for Wellness†circle for the community.

Prof. Dorit Amir, D.A., CMT has been the founder and the head of the music therapy M.A. program at Bar Ilan University in Israel, since 1982. She finished her Masters and Doctorate degrees in music therapy at NYU. Prof. Amir has taught and supervised students and professional music therapists in Israel, USA, Europe, Australia and New Zeeland. Her book: Meeting the Sounds: Music Therapy Practice, Theory and Research, was published in 1999 in Israel, in Hebrew. Prof. Amir has published many articles and chapters on various subjects in music therapy in Israeli, European, American and Australian journals and books. She is an expert on qualitative research. Her research projects include: meaningful moments in music therapy, musical and verbal interventions in music therapy and humor in music therapy. She is on the review board of the Arts and Psychotherapy Journal, the (American) Journal of Music Therapy and the Barcelona's monograph series of Qualitative inquiries in music therapy. Prof. Amir has vast clinical experience with a wide variety of client populations.

We think this is a great opportunity for you to see how we’ve expanded our reach, our influence and how we are helping more and more people each year with music therapy through our Institute for Music and Neurologic Function.

We’re still located at Beth Abraham at 612 Allerton Avenue, but are now on the second floor with four times the space. Please RSVP to the IMNF office, , or imnf@....
