Blumberg Endowed Professor in Music and chair of the UTSA Department of Music, is fascinated with the idea of music as medicine.  The pianist and lecturer studies the ways music positively impacts physical and mental health, frequently reducing the need for pain medication.

Cowden has also been a presenter or performer at several different national music conferences.
