Singing Together: A Practice-Based Study of a Community-Based Choir for Neurodiverse Adults
Background
Research indicates that music-based interventions can improve quality of life for neurodiverse adults; however, there is limited research on community choirs. The purpose of this practice-based study was to determine feasibility, initial outcomes, and perceptions of benefits/barriers of participation in a community-based choir for neurodiverse adults.
Method
Seven adults aged 25–33 and diagnosed with an intellectual or developmental disability participated in a 15-week community-based choir led by a credentialed music therapist. We collected quantitative and qualitative data focused on feasibility, social interactions, quality of life, and perceptions of benefits/barriers.
Results
The study procedures were feasible; however, additional considerations are needed for measurement tools. Qualitative data indicated that the choir members and caregivers perceived the choir as a meaningful opportunity for social engagement.
Conclusion
Community-based choirs may provide neurodiverse adults with an opportunity for community engagement; however, further research is needed to determine the impact of choirs on individual outcomes.
