Personal profile
Research interests
My areas of research specialization revolve around the connection between the field of music therapy and the field of gerontology. I have been well versed in the world of gerontology for 25 years and have developed important relationships with leading bodies in Israel and professionals in the world in this field. Music therapy in diseases related to old age offers a significant non-pharmacological response and many studies are concerned with establishing the effectiveness of music therapy interventions in this channel.
