| Summary |
Active Ageing with Music explores the powerful potential for active music-making to support wellbeing among older people While major demographic transitions are currently underway, significant problems of social isolation, depression, and chronic disease among older people have been noted, requiring cost-effective and compassionate responses. This book demonstrates that engagement in active music-making offers just such a response. [abstracct] |
