Join the Groundbreaking Neuro Music Study

This study is are seeking adults aged between 60-90 years with memory difficulties and no previous experience in instrumental playing or singing in an organised group in the last 6 months. It is a groundbreaking trial run by the University of Sydney which will run intermittently throughout the next 2 years.

Dementia affects around 50 million people globally—a number tipped to triple in the next 30 years. With no cure yet, a pioneering research program is currently investigating whether cognitive decline can be slowed using music.

The study is open to individuals aged between 60 to 90 years who have no previous musical experience but are experiencing memory decline.

If you opt to participate, you will first be screened for suitability and then randomly assigned to one of three groups: learning keyboard, choral singing, or watching music-related movies and discussing them with a group.

You will meet once every week for three months at the Conservatorium of Music in Sydney. If you're interested, please visit the following link for more information: https://neuromusic.sydney.edu.au/.
