The capacity to care is the thing that gives life its deepest meaning and significance. The Room 217 Foundation’s Music Care Conference is an opportunity to transform the way we care for one another in our neighbourhoods.

Music is an intricate part of life passage and has tremendous therapeutic capacity. Yet, a gaping need exists in Canada to understand how to use music in situations of care. With a music-focused boomer generation now populating long term care, expectations around music are even greater. The Music Care Conference seeks to bridge the gap and bring together community members in pursuing the issues and themes around caring for people with music.

Who we are

The Room 217 Foundation (www.room217.ca) is a not-for-profit Canadian charity whose mission is to care for the whole person with music. Room 217 is well positioned to take the lead in Music Care education as it has historically maintained a cross disciplinary perspective and has built strong local, provincial and national relationships especially in hospice and long term care.

Our idea

Partnering with the Laurier Centre for Music Therapy Research , the Laurier Centre for Music in the Community, and Baycrest Hospital, the Room 217 Foundation will hold a Music Care Conference on November 6, 2010 in Waterloo, Ontario. Our vision is to bring together community stakeholders in music and care from across the country to a one day conference which provides both information and inspiration that will have far reaching and prolonged impact on how the effective therapeutic use of music can make a difference to quality of life and well-being. Participants will include caregivers (professional, volunteer, family), care receivers, musicians, music therapists, educators, business owners (i.e. funeral, insurance, healthcare, wellness centers), faith-based leaders, students and the community-at-large.

Originality and impact of the Music Care Conference

This idea of a conference that brings together a cross-section of the community with world class speakers and performers around such an accessible and socially significant topic as music and care in a multi-disciplinary way is both unique and repeatable in other Canadian contexts. Building on the Waterloo experience, Music Care Conferences could be held across the country with an enduring national, daily impact on the well-being of the living and the dying.

Outcomes for success

The planning committee is comprised of Dr. Colin Lee and Dr. Lee Willingham (Laurier University), Dr. Amy Clements-Cortes (Baycrest Hospital), Bev Foster and Joan Hunter (Room 217 Foundation). We began meeting in September 2009 and established a number of outcomes for the Music Care conference: 1) Gain a greater understanding of the therapeutic use of music 2) Experience music in a way that contributes to body-mind-spirit care 3) Develop a community of practise which converges around an interest in using music and care 4) Identify and integrate common themes and issues using music across the care spectrum 5) Identify social implications of music in care 6) Develop Music Care resources 7) Promote music in care research.

Budget

Aviva’s generous support of the Music Care Conference would provide a portion of the overall budget and open the door for attendance by a wider audience. Registration revenue from participants is also anticipated. Our request for Aviva funding is in the amount of $150,000.

Longevity and sustainability

The ongoing efforts of the Room 217 Foundation, Laurier Centre for Music Therapy Research, the Laurier Centre for Music in the Community, and Baycrest Hospital will continue to support the outcomes of this conference through multiple workshops, education and music resources. Research will continue to unfold as a result of the projects in the health care sector.

Thank you Aviva for helping us make a difference in our nation!

I think music in itself is healing. It’s an explosive expression of humanity. It’s something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we’re from, everyone loves music. –Billy Joel
