CEDOMUS: Centre for dokumentation and research in music therapy

The research group CEDOMUS plans, manages, and disseminates research and teaching in music therapy at Aalborg University.

The music therapy profession is highly specialized. This entails a need for close and continuous collaboration to develop both teaching, profession, theory, and research in music therapy.
