“…Our findings also suggest the ability of this music based reminiscence intervention to encourage non-verbal communication, which has been shown as importance for people with advanced dementia (Blackburn and Bradshaw, 2014;Gerdner and McBride, 2015), and to support reconnection with past memories (Cuddy et al, 2015;Dempsy et al, 2012;DeNora, 2015). Similarly, this study supports previous evidence that sharing the activity of reminiscing with people living with dementia can improving communication and social engagement, and foster interaction (Dempsey et al, 2012).…”

“…Related to the link of musical performance with special powers or supernatural forces is the widespread belief that music has profound effects on our minds and bodies and can ameliorate physical and mental problems [36,[40][41][42].…”

“…Progress in documenting the everyday music listening habits of Western adults [1,41,98,99] has not been matched by progress in delineating the consequences of various listening contexts for arousal, emotion regulation and well-being. Even when emotional responsiveness is of principal interest, music that evokes episodic memories or extra-musical associations is commonly excluded [11] despite the impact of such associations on listeners' emotional experience.…”

One contribution of 12 to a theme issue 'Biology, cognition and origins of musicality'. Musical behaviours are universal across human populations and, at the same time, highly diverse in their structures, roles and cultural interpretations. Although laboratory studies of isolated listeners and music-makers have yielded important insights into sensorimotor and cognitive skills and their neural underpinnings, they have revealed little about the broader significance of music for individuals, peer groups and communities. This review presents a sampling of musical forms and coordinated musical activity across cultures, with the aim of highlighting key similarities and differences. The focus is on scholarly and everyday ideas about music-what it is and where it originates-as well the antiquity of music and the contribution of musical behaviour to ritual activity, social organization, caregiving and group cohesion. Synchronous arousal, action synchrony and imitative behaviours are among the means by which music facilitates social bonding. The commonalities and differences in musical forms and functions across cultures suggest new directions for ethnomusicology, music cognition and neuroscience, and a pivot away from the predominant scientific focus on instrumental music in the Western European tradition.

“…As one of us has described in previous work, randomized trials may show (or purport to show) what music can do (e.g., decrease anxiety, increase sense of well-being, decrease need for medication), but they rarely (if ever) manage to describe the actual processes by which music effects change (DeNora 2006;DeNora 2013a;2013b). Too often, music's role as a health technology is assessed through techniques that seek to measure 'how much', 'how often' music can make a difference.…”
