Short biography and a description of your interest(s) in music and health:
Hello, I am Dr. Alicia Howard. I have a master’s in music therapy from Florida State
University and a PhD in Music Education and Music Medicine with a specialization in
Temporomandibular Disorder from the University of Toronto. My doctoral
research was the first collaboration between the Faculties of Music and Dentistry at
UofT, and Mount Sinai Hospital’s Wasser Pain Management Centre in Toronto. I have a Toronto-based practice, Music Wellbeing that integrates music
therapy, psychotherapy, and hypnotherapy as tools in my work with chronic pain
patients.
