| Abstract | Music engages an extensive network of auditory, cognitive, motor, and emotional processing regions in the brain. Coupled with the fact that the emotional and cognitive impact of music is often well preserved in ageing and dementia, music is a powerful tool in the care and rehabilitation of many ageing-related neurological diseases. In addition to formal music therapy, there has been a growing interest in self- or caregiver-implemented musical leisure activities or hobbies as a widely applicable means to support psychological wellbeing in ageing and in neurological rehabilitation. This article reviews the currently existing evidence on the cognitive, emotional, and neural benefits of musical leisure activities in normal ageing as well as in the rehabilitation and care of two of the most common and ageing-related neurological diseases: stroke and dementia. © The Author(s) 2017. |
Music for the ageing brain: Cognitive, emotional, social, and neural benefits of musical leisure activities in stroke and dementia. Also qualitative analysis of the subjective expe- riences of the participants in the trial provided converging results that the singing groups led to better physical psychological social and community well-being. Similarly instrumental musical training that takes place in old age has been observed to improve cognitive performance in various tasks in healthy seniors. In addition to aphasia singing-based interventions have been used in dysarthria a relatively common motor speech disorder after stroke with two small within-subjects studies reporting benefits in speech motor coordination and prosody and in speech intelligibility and naturalness. Qualitatively participating in a community choir is perceived by stroke and Parkinsons disease patients as helpful in the self-management of the social and emo- tional consequences caused by the illness such as social isolation low mood and commu- nication deficits.
