Focus: This course will provide a framework for music delivery in caring communities with content provided through Zoom interviews and commentary from practitioners and experts in each of the 10 domains. B roll video will also be integrated to demonstrate and support content.

Importance: There is a need to articulate distinctions between the ways music is delivered in care in order to create space and differentiation of services and goals of practitioners. There is room for all of us. The 10 Domains framework will be offered as a tool for defining, mapping and optimizing music delivery in caring communities.

Key topic areas:

  • Music delivery in care settings – history, resurgence (Heathcare paper opening)
  • The music care approach
  • The integrated model of music care
  • Fluidity of 10 Domains
  • The 10 Domains – a tool for defining, mapping and optimizing
  • How it was developed
  • Short commentary on each domain with interviews from practitioners, experts
  • An appeal – there is space for all of us – what is your goal for using music

Target audience: The topic stream is operational and may have a broad appeal with specific interest to administrators and practitioners (educators, caregivers, musicians etc.)


5 learning outcomes:

  • differentiate 10 Domains of music delivery in caring communities
  • contrast the goals of each domain and the impact in various settings
  • demonstrate what each delivery domain looks like
  • consider what a music care space would be like when all domains are present (CERTIFY folks as examples)
  • integrate the 10 Domains framework into operational processes
