Back in May, we published a touching story by Michaela Haas on how science proves the value of music as a therapeutic tool.
This week, Geetanjali Krishna shares insights on memory choirs for those with dementia from National Geographic.
My new podcast episode explores the paradox of sad music and its deep connection to our mental health.
I spoke with researcher Dr. Sandra Garrido about why the same song can be a tool for comfort or a trap for negative thinking. We also touch on music therapy techniques and its role in dementia care. A truly fascinating listen.

Alison Wonderland’s latest single, “Again? Fck.”*, feels like kicking a stuck jukebox that keeps playing the same painful loop — a raw metaphor for the repetitive nature of mental health struggles.

Music activates nearly every part of your brain simultaneously: memory, motor control, emotions, language processing.
That's why music therapy works for stroke recovery, ADHD, dementia, Parkinson's, and depression.

At University Hospitals in Cleveland, cancer patients can request musicians at their bedside.
Imagine being soothed by the sound of your favorite song, like the Beatles’ “Let it Be.” #MusicTherapy #Health

If you need any research done at the intersection of live music and tabletop games, please just tell.
It will be done freely as long as the results may be freely shared.
In principle, our #wiki is to cover ALL KNOWLEDGE about this topic (slowly but surely...) It's nice to start with details at least potentially useful to someone.
#musicEducation #musicTherapy #experimentalMusic #boardGames #ttrpg -- all aspects will be fun, even if at different levels of expected quality... ;)
"In conclusion, this study found that the HiH #MusicTherapy program was associated with improvements in girl’s #depression and #anxiety, with the most notable changes observed several months after program completion.
