Music listening, technology, and well-being in older age
Speaker: Dr Amanda E Krause, Research Fellow, The University of Melbourne
Abstract:
Evidence points to music listening as an effective, non-pharmacological tool with many social and emotional benefits, yet the specific nature of how to create and support everyday music listening opportunities for well-being benefit in older age remains under-researched. Two recent investigations examining older adults’ listening practices as well as the challenges and benefits of implementing two different, technology-driven listening programs will be discussed. The findings provide an in-depth understanding of how to support effective everyday music listening activities, with broad implications for enhancing quality of later life for adults living at home and in aged-care.
