MUSIC THERAPY TO IMPROVE MEMORY AND MOBILITY IN THE ELDERLY

Abstract

The elderly are one of the most vulnerable groups in our society: the physical problems, cognitive im- pairment, social deprivation and loneliness suffered by many older people make them, in many cases, at risk of social exclusion.The objective of the intervention proposal is to improve the quality of life of this group through the use of music therapy, focusing on the specific work of mobility and memory. For this, a series of activities have been prepared that can be carried out in day centers and music schools, promoting active and healthy aging.
