Abstract
![CDATA[Music therapy is an evidence-based approach to improve the quality of life through listening to music (Garrido et al., 2017), as well as more active engagement with music such as singing (Lam, Li, Laher, & Wong, 2020; Perez-Eizaguirre & Vergara-Moragues, 2020), playing musical instruments (Lam et al., 2020; Leggieri et al., 2019; Perez-Eizaguirre & Vergara-Moragues, 2020), and songwriting (Clark, Stretton-Smith, Baker, Lee, & Tamplin, 2020). The practice of music therapy involves a trained and registered music therapist who uses established therapeutic practices to tailor a program of musical "treatment" to the needs of the individual with dementia.]]
