Therapeutic Activities For The Older Population

The Therapeutic Benefits of Music
As a Music Therapist, I have had the pleasure to experience the positive effects that music has on the elderly.
Favorite music/ songs associated with significant personal events can trigger memories of lyrics and the experience connected to the music. Music can often calm someone who is agitated and anxious. Brain activity while listening to music changes and stimulates areas responsible for motor activity, emotions and creativity. It enables the listener to focus on the present moment and regain a connection to others.
