Musical Improvisation and its Therapeutic Applications 

Musical improvisation is spontaneous creativity in action. Can it also be used to heal? In this webinar, we’ll talk to music therapist John Carpente, who uses improvisation as a therapeutic tool, Jazz violinist Regina Carter will bring her professional expertise to the table and Psyche Loui, PhD, a neuroscientist and creativity researcher will explain what’s happening in the brain when we improvise.

Closed captioning will be provided during the event.
