Extending the discussion to clinical settings, she will provide a brief overview of music therapy interventions, reviewing how music can be an effective tool for improving various patient outcomes, such as memory in Alzheimer’s patients, the recovery of speech after stroke, and motor coordination in those with Parkinson’s disease.
