| Abstract | Aims:The role of arts and music in supporting subjective wellbeing (SWB) is increasingly recognised. Robust evidence is needed to support policy and practice. This article reports on the first of four reviews of Culture, Sport and Wellbeing (CSW) commissioned by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC)-funded What Works Centre for Wellbeing (https://whatworkswellbeing.org/). Objective:To identify SWB outcomes for music and singing in adults. Methods:Comprehensive literature searches were conducted in PsychInfo, Medline, ERIC, Arts and Humanities, Social Science and Science Citation Indexes, Scopus, PILOTS and CINAHL databases. From 5,397 records identified, 61 relevant records were assessed using GRADE and CERQual schema. Results: A wide range of wellbeing measures was used, with no consistency in how SWB was measured across the studies. A wide range of activities was reported, most commonly music listening and regular group singing. Music has been associated with reduced anxiety in young adults, enhanced mood and purpose in adults and mental wellbeing, quality of life, self-awareness and coping in people with diagnosed health conditions. Music and singing have been shown to be effective in enhancing morale and reducing risk of depression in older people. Few studies address SWB in people with dementia. While there are a few studies of music with marginalised communities, participants in community choirs tend to be female, white and relatively well educated. Research challenges include recruiting participants with baseline wellbeing scores that are low enough to record any significant or noteworthy change following a music or singing intervention. Conclusions: There is reliable evidence for positive effects of music and singing on wellbeing in adults. There remains a need for research with sub-groups who are at greater risk of lower levels of wellbeing, and on the processes by which wellbeing outcomes are, or are not, achieved. |
A systematic review of wellbeing outcomes for music and singing in adults.. Aims:The role of arts and music in supporting subjective wellbeing is increasingly recognised. Despite a great deal of heterogeneity across the studies it was possible to undertake an exploratory meta-analysis on the effects of music interventions on anxiety and depression. These studies fell broadly into studies with healthy populations and studies of participants with diagnosed conditions including six studies of SWB in people with dementia. Only one study of older adults examined playing musical instruments reporting improvements in wellbeing both in older adults taking music lessons and those not taking lessons after weeks. A case-controlled study compared months of tai chi playing a musical instrument or singing in adults aged - years with risk factors for chronic disease reporting improvements in resilience and depression for all intervention groups compared with controls with the lowest depression rates for tai chi and dancing groups.
