Abstract

A significant number of studies suggest that engagement with music, in its different forms, can play an important role in terms of health and well-being for a diverse range of people, including older adults. Research focusing on the impact of these activities on the practitioners, namely the musicians carrying out the interventions, is at a more preliminary stage. This study investigated how tertiary-level music students experienced group music making with residents in nursing homes. A music team delivered ten weekly music sessions in four nursing homes, focusing on singing, rhythm-based activities with percussion instruments and listening to short, live performances. The team was composed of an experienced workshop leader, a researcher and nine student musicians enrolled in an elective seminar. Qualitative data were collected from the students through semi-structured interviews and oral diaries and analysed using thematic analysis. The results show that the overall experience had a positive impact on students in both professional and personal dimensions. The findings are discussed using the lenses of mutual recovery and the PERMA model of well-being.

养老院集体音乐创作:高等音乐院校学生的调查研究

大量研究表明，参与不同形式的音乐可以对包括老年人在内的各种人群的健康和福祉发挥重要作用。关注这些活动对实践者(即进行干预的音乐家)的影响的研究还处于更初级的阶段。本研究旨在探讨大专音乐学生与养老院住客共同创作团体音乐的体验。一个音乐小组在四家养老院每周提供十次音乐课程，重点是用打击乐器演唱、有节奏的活动，以及听简短的现场表演。该团队由一名经验丰富的工作坊负责人，一名研究员和九名选修研讨会的学生音乐家组成。通过半结构化访谈和口头日记从学生中收集定性数据，并使用主题分析进行分析。结果表明，整体体验对学生在专业和个人方面都有积极的影响。研究结果使用相互恢复和幸福的PERMA模型的镜头进行了讨论。
