“…This connects seamlessly with the Arts on Prescription movement, which is a complementary approach to improving health and well-being where a creative activity is prescribed to individuals over a period of time (Bungay and Clift, 2010;Jensen et al, 2017). The prescription of music as "treatment" has been explored in the context of "music as a coping strategy" with a focus on improving physiological and psychological well-being (Jacobsen et al, 2018). Jacobsen et al (2018) suggested that identifying the quantity or "dose" is a challenge for future research in music on prescription.…”

Research on the efficacy of music for improving sleep quality has produced mixed results. We investigated whether the number of music dosages could be a reason for the lack of clarity. Six longitudinal music sleep studies using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) over 3 weeks were identified. Music when compared to active (audiobooks or medication) or passive controls significantly improved (improvement is reflected by a lower score) PSQI within the first or second week of prescription. The improvement was an average mean difference of −1.15 (SD = 0.53) for each week. Music dosages continued to be associated with improved PSQI over a study that had a 3-month music intervention. One study with a low initial PSQI score resulted in poor sleepers (PSQI > 5) achieving healthy sleep (PSQI < 5) within 3 weeks of regular music intervention. For future studies, "prescribing" music beyond 3 weeks may lead to more instances of healthy sleep, particularly for those who have mild sleep problems. To explain the findings, we proposed that the relationship between weeks of music listening and improved PSQI are attributed to the truncation of poor bedtime habits linked to ruminative tendencies and consequent hyperarousal prior to the music intervention. Music listening at bedtime replaces those bad habits, we argue, by forming a new psychological link between bedtime and sleep through evaluative conditioning. The findings of the present study provide disarming evidence of the potential for prescription of music for treating mild sleep disorder.

“…We know from several studies that there is a clear link between participation in music activities and individuals' own sense of mental health, as well as effect on objective measures of health such as quality of life, social skills, and rehabilitation of various kinds [ 5 – 8 ]. Research indicates that doing music together creates joy and a sense of connection between those who play or sing as this supports the ability to listen, tune and synchronise with each other all of which are basic elements of all healthy relationships [ 9 , 10 ].…”

Background General mental health and interpersonal skills of families are crucial to children's development and future. Research suggests a link between participation in music activities and individuals' own sense of mental health, as well as an effect in objective measures of health such as quality of life, social skills, and rehabilitation of various kinds. However, in Denmark there are not many services for families with school-aged children (7–12 years) that focus on prevention and strengthening family interaction hereby minimising the risk of children not thriving and developing optimally in terms of social and emotional skills and competences. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of shared music activities on family interaction, parental stress, and child well-being. Methods The study is a controlled effect study where 40 family dyads from Aalborg and Aarhus are randomized into 4 different groups including music therapy activities, community music, family concerts and a control group. Measurements of family interaction (Assessment of Parent Child Interaction, APCI) and mental health (Parental Stress Scale, PSS, and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, SDQ) will be made at baseline/pre intervention, at post intervention and a follow-up measurement 12 month after baseline (month 1, 3 and 12) 3 times in total. Furthermore, data about the family dyad’s regular participation in music events as part of every-day life at the same measure points (month 1, 3 and 12). Since this is a planned prospective study, results are not yet available, but clinical experience from a feasibility study in 2021 were promising and expected challenges and changes are discussed in the article. Discussion Findings of this study will be relevant for all fields where music is applied for families, such as education, mental health, social work and for basic research on the study of music and interaction. Music used as a resource for families is crucial in understanding how different modalities can influence the family interaction including emotional communication and attachment. Trial registration: ISRCTN, ISRCTN17290015, Registered 03 March 2022, https://www.isrctn.com/ISRCTN17290015 Date and protocol version July 2022, version 1. Protocol is planned to be updated after finalized recruitment during second data collection point and again after the third and last data collection point (see Additional file 1: SPIRIT Checklist).

Today the use of music for health purposes is practiced and reported from a great number of settings (15,16).

“…Music on prescription has emerged as a term used in publications as a part of the "Arts on Prescription" movement with roots in Great Britain and Scandinavia (16,23). Arts and health research has been documented in areas of: critical care and emergency medicine, dentistry, geriatric medicine, healthcare staff, neurology, obstetrics, gynecology, neonatology, oncology, pediatrics, palliative care, public health, psychiatry, rehabilitation medicine and surgery (16). Arts and health studies including music overlap with research in music intervention and music therapy.…”
