“…A book chapter of the neurochemical functions of music (Koshimori, 2019) indicates that music impacts multiple neurotransmitters (e.g., dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, and acetylcholine) and neuropeptides (e.g., beta-endorphin, oxytocin, and arginine vasopressin). A recent systematic review provided evidence that music interventions have effects on both physiological stress-induced biomarkers and self-reported psychological stress responses (Wong et al, 2021).…”

“…It is not within the scope of this review to provide an exhaustive account of such history. Rather, for the purposes of this review, we used a meta-narrative approach (Wong et al, 2013) with the understanding that there are entire subdisciplines studying relationships between music and medicine (e.g., medical ethnomusicology; Koen et al, 2008). Longitudinal research in given patient populations has shown marked effects of the application of music to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety (Aalbers et al, 2017;Ribeiro et al, 2018), high blood pressure (Im-Oun et al, 2018), pain (Johnson & Elkins, 2020), mental illness (Golden et al, 2021), as well as increased positive outcomes of good health (Fancourt & Finn, 2019).…”

Therapeutic Potential of Music-Based Interventions on the Stress Response and Neuroinflammatory Biomarkers in COVID-19: A Review

et al. 2023

COVID-19 continues to strain healthcare systems around the globe. Research has shown a relationship between COVID-19 and an inflammatory response, including neuropathological outcomes. Additionally, studies have shown positive effects of engagement with music on inflammatory responses; music may have potential, as a method, to reduce inflammation triggered by COVID-19. This review compiles exhaustive research from multiple disciplines to account for this possibility. The authors utilized a meta-narrative approach to complete this review. The search was conducted using PubMed, Embase, OneSearch, Primo, Google Scholar, Clinicaltrials.gov, and the bibliographies of relevant articles. In total, 84 articles were included for full-text review, discussion, and analysis. Articles pertaining to music and acoustics encompassed a date range from 1964–2020. Articles referencing COVID-19 spanned the years 2019–2021. This work focused on associations between engagement with music, stress response, blood-brain barrier integrity, inflammation, COVID-19, and neuropathology in preclinical and clinical models. Detailed analysis revealed that engagement with music has the potential to reduce the harmful effects of COVID-19, particularly in the inflammation and blood clotting pathways associated with a range of pathophysiological and neuropathological issues. Further work is warranted to standardize and validate existing methods associating positive effects of engagement with music on the negative effects of COVID-19.

“…To better understand this, discussions touched on the importance of a historical understanding of musical care. This included attention to the longer histories of musical care practices (Bohlman, 2000;Brust, 2001;Gouk, 2017a;Horden, 2020;Kennaway, 2014;Koen et al, 2008;Meymandi, 2009), the development of interest in musical care practices over the past several decades, and the way in which musical care may relate to historical injustice and structural inequalities. Discussions also considered how musical care practices sit within broader, changing political economies of care and how divisions between areas of practice may reflect processes of professionalization and commoditization of culture.…”

In this paper we report on the inaugural meetings of the Musical Care International Network held online in 2022. The term “musical care” is defined by Spiro and Sanfilippo (2022) as “the role of music—music listening as well as music-making—in supporting any aspect of people's developmental or health needs” (pp. 2–3). Musical care takes varied forms in different cultural contexts and involves people from different disciplines and areas of expertise. Therefore, the Musical Care International Network takes an interdisciplinary and international approach and aims to better reflect the disciplinary, geographic, and cultural diversity relevant to musical care. Forty-two delegates participated in 5 inaugural meetings over 2 days, representing 24 countries and numerous disciplines and areas of practice. Based on the meetings, the aims of this paper are to (1) better understand the diverse practices, applications, contexts, and impacts of musical care around the globe and (2) introduce the Musical Care International Network. Transcriptions of the recordings, alongside notes taken by the hosts, were used to summarise the conversations. The discussions developed ideas in three areas: (a) musical care as context-dependent and social, (b) musical care's position within the broader research and practice context, and (c) debates about the impact of and evidence for musical care. We can conclude that musical care refers to context-dependent and social phenomena. The term musical care was seen as useful in talking across boundaries while not minimizing individual disciplinary and professional expertise. The use of the term was seen to help balance the importance and place of multiple disciplines, with a role to play in the development of a collective identity. This collective identity was seen as important in advocacy and in helping to shape policy. The paper closes with proposed future directions for the network and its emerging mission statement.

Ghanaian music and dance provide a rich environment for social interaction, which is a significant contributory factor to health and well-being, both for individuals and the communities in which they live. The vibrant and energetic drumming and dance of the popular Ewe piece Gahu offer numerous opportunities for participatory music-making, not only in Ghana but throughout the world, in performance, educational and community settings. Through video analysis and discussion of cross-disciplinary research, this article identifies the ecological factors present in a Canadian university performance of Gahu that play a positive role in the health of the students involved.
