Researcher of the Month: Professor Beatriz Ilari Discusses the Impact of Music on Young People's Development

Researcher of the month, Professor Beatriz Ilari chats to us
about how music has a wide-ranging impact on young people's
social and emotional development. We might assume that being
'musical' means playing an instrument, but Professor Ilari
stresses the importance of everyday musical experiences and
simply of listening to and engaging with our favourite bands or
songs. In this interview, we find out more about her fascinating
work.
