Differences between “music” and “music therapy” interventions in dementia.
(Raglio & Gianelli, Current Alzheimer Research, 2009, 6, 293-301).
MUSIC
MUSIC THERAPY
Presence of a professional of the music area
Presence of a professional of the musictherapeutic area with specific relational and
musical competences
Absence of a specific therapeutic setting
Presence of a structured therapeutic setting
Absence of a specific intervenion model
Presence of a music-therapeutic referential
model grounded on theoretical and
methodological criteria
Aims: temporary well-being, improving mood,
promoting socialization, memories and
stimulation of frames of mind, relaxation, etc.
Aims (aspiring to become stable and longlasting over time): attenuation of behavioral and
psychiatric symptoms and prevention/
stabilization of complications; increase in
communication and relationship skills
Contents: structured musical initiatives
(rhythmic use of instruments, singing,
movement associated to music, etc.) and
listening to music (classical music, favourite
music, etc.)
Contents: sonorous-musical improvisation;
listening activities that involve verbal and
elaborative competences (preferably at initial
stages of dementia)

This study reviews the most recent (from 2000 to 2011) Clinical Controlled Trials (CCT) and Randomized
Controlled Trials (RCT) concerning the use of music and music-therapy (MT) in the context of dementia
and related issues.
Studies which explored the efficacy of music and MT on behavioral and psychological symptoms of
dementia (BPSD) are prevalent, while those aiming at assessing a potential effect of these approaches
on cognitive and physiological aspects are scant. Although with some limitations, the results of these
studies are consistent with the efficacy of MT approach on BPSD. In this context, the ability of the music
therapist to directly interact with the patients appears to be crucial for the success of the intervention.
This review was endorsed by the Italian Psychogeriatric Association (AIP) and represents its view about
the criteria to select appropriate music and MT approaches in the field of dementia. Accordingly, we have
developed a list of recommendations to facilitate the current use of these techniques in the context of
non-pharmacological treatments for patients with dementia.
