MUSIC THERAPY &
SENIORS
Life On Music offers both group and individual music therapy sessions tailored to support seniors. Each session is thoughtfully designed to meet participants where they are, with activities adapted to different levels of support. Our programs are fully customizable, ensuring that every senior receives meaningful, personalized care through the power of music.
​
For each level of care, the session is led by a board-certified music therapist who facilitates live, age-appropriate, familiar singing with guitar accompaniment. The participants have the opportunity to sing along, play instruments, move to the music, listen, write songs, and play music games like "Name That Tune" and "Music Bingo."
Music therapy is a supportive and evidence-based approach to rehabilitation for individuals recovering from stroke, brain injury, or experiencing memory loss. Through engaging and personalized musical activities, sessions help improve speech, movement, memory, and emotional well-being. By activating different areas of the brain, music therapy promotes healing and neuroplasticity while also fostering joy and connection. Each session is tailored to meet the individual’s unique needs and goals, creating meaningful opportunities for progress and improved quality of life.
For adults with with Alzheimer's or a related disease, music therapy gives participants the opportunity to engage in familiar singing, listening, and movement activities while working on motor strength, vocal maintenance, speech intelligibility, autonomy, and mood.
Music therapy sessions designed for memory care give participants the opportunity to increase skills required for daily living, and add a special emphasis on increasing reality orientation, memory recall, executive functioning, mood, and reminiscence.
