An Update: Emily Cooper

AN UPDATE Hello everyone! Emily here with an update about my PhD journey! The past few months have been very busy! In January I went part time for my PhD as I have also taken up a job working at Sheffield Cathedral as their Music and Liturgy Administrator. This has been a great decision as I now have more time and flexibility to complete all the research projects I want to conduct. In June I submitted my 'Relax, Breathe and Sing' paper to the Music and Science SAGE peer-reviewed journal, co-authored with my supervisor, Prof Renee Timmers, Mir Jansen and Helen Lyle - I'm hoping this will be approved soon! I will update on this blog when that happens. This was a fantastic project involving people with Chronic Health Conditions who have experience of breathlessness. In the meantime, if you want to read up on some work I already have published, you can read this paper I published last year which is a shortened version of my Masters Dissertation: https://journals.sagepub.com/d...

Psychology of Music Masters at the University of Sheffield

Hello all! Emily here. I am a proud graduate of the Master’s programme in Psychology of Music at the University of Sheffield . I have recently been invited to write a piece reflecting on my experience of the course and post-course life. The fact that I remain based in Sheffield and continue to work within the Music Department five years later speaks volumes about the quality of teaching, the depth of expertise, and the genuine care shown by professors, lecturers, and support staff in enabling each student to gain the most from their studies. I can say with confidence that I would not be where I am today without having undertaken this Master’s programme. I completed the Masters Programme in Summer 2022. For my collaborative dissertation (supervised by Prof Renee Timmers), I was partnered with Mir Jansen, the Arts Coordinator at Arts in Health (Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust), an organisation who provide craft activities for hospital staff, patients and vis...
