Main content
Viggo Krüger believes that music is a source of joy and social expression, and can have a therapeutic effect on us - when we need it.
In the webinar, Viggo will share with us some considerations about how music can give us a voice when we need to be heard, and when we need to be understood.
Viggo will give us 4 reasons why we should use music as a natural part of everyday life:
- Music releases the body's own conductors.
- Music brings us together.
- Music gives us the experience of belonging to something bigger.
- The music underpins democratic principles.
Viggo Krïger is associate professor at the Grieg Academy (UiB) and research leader for GAMUT - the Grieg Academy's center for music therapy research.
For most of us, music is a very important part of life. From early childhood to old age, music is with us like a playist to life itself.
