ONE OF OUR GOALS IS TO BRING MUSIC THERAPY BEST PRACTICES TO WEB-BASED TECHNOLOGIES TO MEET THE GROWING NEED.

HISTORY

The Institute developed out of the many years of clinical work and research of renowned author and neurologist Oliver Sacks, MD, and music therapist Concetta M. Tomaino, DA, MT-BC, who demonstrated that people with neurological problems could learn to move better, remember more and even regain speech when music was used in specific ways.

In 1995, under the leadership of Edwin H. Stern III, Arnold H. Goldstein and the late Ben Rizzi, the Institute for Music and Neurologic Function was founded to pursue this passion and this mission – to bring together the two worlds of basic neuroscience and clinical music therapy. 5 | IMNF VISION 2025 VISION 5 | IMNF
