Music for healing has long been recognised for its ability to soothe the mind and body, promoting relaxation and emotional well-being. Whether through gentle melodies or rhythmic beats, music can reduce stress, alleviate pain, and improve mood, making it a valuable tool in both physical and mental health care. For older adults, engaging with music—whether listening, singing, or playing instruments—can enhance cognitive function, foster social connections, and bring a sense of joy and comfort during challenging times. This therapeutic power of music highlights its unique role in supporting active and healthy ageing.
