This practical guide to running music therapy groups with senior
citizens provides effective strategies that encourage therapists to
be creative and engaging, and involve participants fully in the
music-making process. Ideal for those working with older people in
assisted living or nursing care homes, the book covers initial
assessment, setting measurable goals, and evaluating progress;
discusses current music therapy techniques; and offers an improved
plan of intervention. The author explains how to choose or create
music that is accessible to this age group, designing strategies
that utilize cognitive, motor, social-emotional, and music skills
to the fullest. The book provides useful original music and shows
readers how to compose their own songs that relate to the
experiences of the group they are working with, emphasizing shared
common interests and enjoyment in the moment.
