Summary
This completed study tested a structured music improvisation program for older adults with mild to moderate dementia and their caregivers. Seven participants took part in three-hour sessions led by professional musicians. The goal was to see if this non-drug approach could improve mental and physical health, reduce neuropsychiatric symptoms, and ease caregiver burden.
