Music and Parental Mental Wellbeing

Music and Parental Mental Wellbeing provides readers from music, health, and beyond, with a new and comprehensive opportunity to consider how music can support parental mental wellbeing.

Rosie Perkins is Professor of Music, Health, and Social Science at the Royal College of Music, London. Based in the Centre for Performance Science, Rosie's research investigates two broad areas within music and mental health: how music and the arts support societal wellbeing and how to enhance artists' wellbeing and career development. Rosie is an honorary Senior Research Fellow in the Faculty of Medicine at Imperial College London and, in 2019, was elected an Honorary Member of the Royal College of Music.
