Music Has Power®
Music has the power to impact the brain and support healing across the lifespan, unlocking memory, strengthening connection, and enhancing quality of life.
Music-Based Interventions in Neurologic and Health Care
The Institute for Music and Neurologic Function works at the intersection of music, neuroscience, and care. We develop and deliver training, programs, and resources that translate research into practical tools for improving quality of life through music.
Our message is simple: Music has power. Everyone can benefit from music—and for individuals living with Alzheimer’s and other neurologic challenges, access to music must be a part of healthcare and daily life.
Get Involved
There are a number of ways you can volunteer to support the Institute for Music and Neurologic Function, including working directly with our music therapists, helping with fundraising events and campaigns, or serving as an ambassador for IMNF programs.
You do not need a clinical or musical background to get involved. Many of our volunteers support the work through outreach, event support, communications, and community engagement.
