Currently, you can find limited research in French through the Association Québecoise de Musicothérapie (AQM), Concordia University, and BRAMS, a collaboration between the University of Montreal, McGill University and their Centre for Research on Brain, Language, and Music (CRBLM).

We also recommend a TED talk by Kathleen M. Howland called “How Music Can Heal Our Brain and Heart”. She very clearly explains the scope of music therapy in her talk.
