Can Music Help Your Memory?

A team of researchers from the University of Sydney is conducting an exciting new study to determine whether a training program that incorporates music can improve cognitive performance, neuroplasticity, mood, and daytime functioning in older adults with memory difficulties. The study is open to people aged between 60 and 90 years who are experiencing memory decline and have little to no prior musical experience. If you decide to participate, you will be screened for suitability and then randomly assigned to one of three groups: learning keyboard, choral singing, or watching music-related films and discussing them with a group. You will meet once a week for three months at the Conservatorium of Music in Sydney. If you are interested, please visit the following link for more information: https://neuromusic.sydney.edu.au/.
