Benefits of Music Therapy for Older Adults
Cognitive
Music can bring back memories, stimulate conversation, and help with reality orientation. It can help to maintain thought processing and organization of memory.
Communication
Participation in music therapy has been shown to help maintain speech and can provide an additional means to communicate and express emotions.
Physical
Music encourages physical movement through dancing, clapping and instrument play. Music therapy can help maintain range of motion, and has been shown to help with pain management.
Social/Emotional
Creating music together has been shown to facilitate social bonding in families and groups. It can ease transitions and provide opportunity to increase self esteem and creativity.
