The Sidney De Haan Research Centre for Arts and Health is currently researching the possible health benefits of active participation in music making and singing. It is planning a conference this September to mark the third anniversary of the establishment of the Centre in Folkestone.

The conference, Music and Health: Current Developments in Research and Practice, aims to look into the use of music in health and social care settings, and music in public health promotion and community development.
