“…The strongest results were for improved mood and/or emotions, which were found to improve for shared music listening across all studies. Improved social interaction and communication also appeared to show consistent effects, which were particularly marked among participants with dementia, though less so for those with more severe dementia (van der Vleuten et al, 2012 ; Clements-Cortés, 2017 ; Shibazaki and Marshall, 2017 ; Toccafondi et al, 2018 ). As part of this, sharing music stimulated participants' memories and facilitated reminiscing and storytelling that were shared with musicians, staff, and family members.…”

“…Synchronized movement and physical activation increased during live music sharing alongside the ability to remember, cognitively perceive, and anticipate auditory musical elements (Clements-Cortés, 2017 ; Shibazaki and Marshall, 2017 ). Participants were reported to be clapping, singing, and generally moving to the music.…”

“…Participants were reported to be clapping, singing, and generally moving to the music. Shibazaki and Marshall ( 2017 ) noted that these physical responses were even evident for people with mobility issues and among those who had suffered strokes. Finally, for people with dementia, even when dementia was advanced, carers and researchers observed clear cognitive effects while sharing music, such as participants being able to predict, anticipate, and expect different musical patterns and changes (Shibazaki and Marshall, 2017 ).…”

How Do Music Activities Affect Health and Well-Being? A Scoping Review of Studies Examining Psychosocial Mechanisms

et al. 2021

Background: This scoping review analyzed research about how music activities may affect participants' health and well-being. Primary outcomes were measures of health (including symptoms and health behaviors) and well-being. Secondary measures included a range of psychosocial processes such as arousal, mood, social connection, physical activation or relaxation, cognitive functions, and identity. Diverse music activities were considered: receptive and intentional music listening; sharing music; instrument playing; group singing; lyrics and rapping; movement and dance; and songwriting, composition, and improvisation.Methods: Nine databases were searched with terms related to the eight music activities and the psychosocial variables of interest. Sixty-three papers met selection criteria, representing 6,975 participants of all ages, nationalities, and contexts.Results: Receptive and intentional music listening were found to reduce pain through changes in physiological arousal in some studies but not others. Shared music listening (e.g., concerts or radio programs) enhanced social connections and mood in older adults and in hospital patients. Music listening and carer singing decreased agitation and improved posture, movement, and well-being of people with dementia. Group singing supported cognitive health and well-being of older adults and those with mental health problems, lung disease, stroke, and dementia through its effects on cognitive functions, mood, and social connections. Playing a musical instrument was associated with improved cognitive health and well-being in school students, older adults, and people with mild brain injuries via effects on motor, cognitive and social processes. Dance and movement with music programs were associated with improved health and well-being in people with dementia, women with postnatal depression, and sedentary women with obesity through various cognitive, physical, and social processes. Rapping, songwriting, and composition helped the well-being of marginalized people through effects on social and cultural inclusion and connection, self-esteem and empowerment.Discussion: Music activities offer a rich and underutilized resource for health and well-being to participants of diverse ages, backgrounds, and settings. The review provides preliminary evidence that particular music activities may be recommended for specific psychosocial purposes and for specific health conditions.

“…Live music performances have been shown to have a positive effect on human contact, care relationships, positive emotions and negative emotions in people with dementia in nursing homes (van der Vleuten et al 2012). Shibazaki and Marshall (2017) explored the effects of live music concerts on dementia sufferers, their families, nursing staff and caregivers. Interviews and researcher attendance at concerts in care facilities showed that concerts were beneficial to patients and staff even when they did not attend the concerts.…”

This OSF project contains the source and supplementary materials for the book "The Power of Music: an exploration of the evidence" (under review). This book was written to provide an update to The power of music: A research synthesis of the impact of actively making music on the intellectual, social and personal development of children and young people. As the evidence was collated, it became clear that much more research had been undertaken since the original book was produced and that that research was focused on a much wider age range with particular expansion in work with older age groups. It was therefore decided to expand the book to include research across the lifespan covering a wider range of issues, particularly those relating to health and wellbeing as these have become more important in the research agenda in recent years. The title referring to an exploration of the research was selected to make it possible to take account of all kinds of research from large scale population studies to single case studies, correlation studies, experiments and evaluations of interventions with a focus on both listening to and actively making and creating music. Some interventions that have several different outcomes are mentioned in more than one chapter. As there has been much controversy recently as to whether music can have any impact, particularly on cognition, it was felt important to include examples of individual research projects for the reader to be able to draw their own conclusions about the impact of music rather than relying on a summary, although an overview is provided at the end of each chapter. This means that the book is not always an easy read. Some of the research is extremely complex and takes time to understand. It is hoped that despite this it will enable the reader to make an informed decision about the power of music in a range of areas across the lifespan.

Approximately 1.4 million older adults reside in skilled nursing settings in the United States (Harris-Kojetin et al., 2013). The incidence of situational and clinical depression in this setting is alarmingly high (Ulbricht, Rothschild, Hunnicutt, & Lapane, 2017) and is related to loss of independence, feelings of social isolation and loneliness, ever-present death and grief, stale programming, and lack of meaningful in-house activities (Choi, Ransom, & Wyllie, 2008). Situational depression is defined as depression associated with major life changes, such as transitioning into a long-term care setting, whereas clinical depression is believed to consist of a complex relationship between brain function, genetic factors, and social context (Hirshfeld, 1981; Joyce, 2008). Green, Magee, Steiner, and Teachman (2017) investigated changes in depressive symptoms over time of 64,095 older adults who were newly admitted to long-term care facilities. The findings indicated that the prevalence of depression increased over a 3-month period (54.3 cases per 100 residents at initial assessment, compared with 60.8 cases per 100 residents by follow-up). In addition, more than 50% of the residents exhibited a high risk for depression both at admission and follow-up. It is difficult to delineate situational from clinical depression in residents who reside in long-term care facilities. However, changes in the aging brain, loss of physical and cognitive function, and disruption of environmental and social contexts can lead to depression and a decreased quality of life residents who reside in long-term care (Choi, Ransom, & Wyllie, 2008; Kirchen, Hersch, & Pickens, 2014). Music as an Occupation (Means and End) The practice of occupational therapy was founded on the belief that engagement in client-centered, purposeful, and meaningful occupations promotes the health, wellbeing, and quality of life of all persons (McLaughlin Gray, 1998). In the 1995 Eleanor Clark Slagle Lecture, Catherine Trombly described occupation as a means and an end. She states that occupation is both a treatment end goal and a means to remediate occupational performance challenges. Trombly emphasized that the occupational therapist must ensure that the therapeutic approach is skilled by facilitating the just right challenge for the client. In turn, the client must possess the motivation to engage in the therapeutic process, which is heavily dependent on the treatment session reflecting a client-centered, purposeful, and meaningful approach. Music is a universal and meaningful occupation that can be used as a non-pharmacological intervention to
