Musical Museum: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Integrative Life Enrichment for Individuals with Neurocognitive Disorders and their Care Partners
The Musical Museum series demonstrated feasibility and strong reception, evidenced by the growing attendance and positive survey feedback. Participants' positive feedback highlighted the potential of live music programs to enhance social-emotional interaction and cognitive engagement, consistent with the goals of social prescription. These findings support the value of engagement with music as a multimodal intervention in NcD care. Future efforts will focus on incorporating real-time neurophysiologic measures and expanding the collection of audience response data, further characterizing the impact of such interventions.
