Music is a part of our life. Listening to or making music promotes socialization and contributes to better the quality of life in Health Care settings. The musical experience is for everyone!
 
In Health Care settings, musical programs including rhythmic activities are excellent for reducing loneliness, isolation and passivity. Group musical experiences develop a sense of belonging and musical therapy enhances the attention level and reduces the verbal and physical agitation of some residents.
 
The excellent book "The Best Friend Approach to Alzheimer Care" from V. Bell and D. Troxel says: "Music is the language of Alzheimer’s disease. It is amazing how well many people with dementia enjoy singing a song, listening to music, or playing an instrument".
