Rhythm for Life

Music Making and Wellbeing Enhancement for
Older Adults

Funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation (2010-12)

Rhythm for Life aims to enhance wellbeing among older adults through the implementation and evaluation of creative music making. Since 2010, the project has facilitated music making opportunities for over 100 older adults in the local area, all of       which have been delivered by current or past RCM students. The effects of participation were monitored throughout, with results indicating that making music can enhance aspects of wellbeing in older adulthood.
