Music holds a unique and profound place in our lives. It has the power to transform our minds and souls and can influence our mental, emotional, and physical health. A soothing playlist can help with sleep, increase motivation for exercise, encourage self-expression through singing and dancing, and connect those who attend live musical performances. For those learning to play an instrument, it can enhance cognitive abilities.
By incorporating music into the lives of 89 patients with mild to moderate dementia along with their caregivers, a study builds on previous research. The study divided the participants into three groups, a singing coaching group, a music listening coaching group, and a usual care control group, for a 10-week program that focused on singing and listening to music to observe the impact on cognitive abilities, mood, and overall well-being. The singing group sang familiar songs and performed rhythmic movements and vocal exercises, while the music listening group had reminiscence discussions.
