Summary

This study tests whether a fun, group-based music training program can help underprivileged children aged 8-12 who are at risk for depression and anxiety. The program uses games to teach musical instruments, aiming to boost resilience and reduce emotional distress. Researchers will follow 174 children for 12 months to see if the training improves their mental health and quality of life.
