March 2015 Dear Connie, You have been one of my closest friends and colleagues since you first arrived at Beth Abraham, and we have collaborated on many fronts, from the "Awakenings" patients to music therapy for dementia, Parkinson's, aphasia (not to mention visiting ostriches and cycads in South Africa and going on long bike rides together). I could not have written Musicophilia without you, and your institute has spread the word and practice of music therapy far and wide, while keeping the most rigorous scientific standards. It has been a pleasure and an honor to work with you all these years. I congratulate you on your first 35 years at Beth Abe, and wish you many, many more! Love, Oliver UCONN Johns Hopkins School of Medicine 2017 Dr. Tomaino is invited to speak at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for an inaugural information sharing meeting on music and the mind. 2019 IMNF expands international student training and its collaborations with new tech companies. 2020 IMNF is featured in new documentary "Tuning the Brain with Music." 2018 IMNF officially partners with Wartburg.
