Berklee Music and Health Institute Taxonomy

The Berklee MHI Taxonomy is designed to empower researchers, clinicians, and practitioners in the field of music and health by providing a structured, hierarchical system for categorizing and accessing relevant studies. It serves as a tool to facilitate the identification of quality evidence, enabling users to effectively compare and contrast various studies, build upon existing research, and identify gaps within the literature. By organizing information into distinct sections encompassing both medical and music-related terms, the taxonomy allows for comprehensive searches across a wide range of categories, including conditions, procedures, outcomes, interventions, and more. This systematic approach supports the development of a robust evidence base, essential for establishing the legitimacy of music as a complementary treatment in the medical community.
