“…For example, Fredenburg and Silverman (2014) reported data from a randomized controlled trial, demonstrating positive effects of music therapy on affective well-being (increase in positive affect, decrease in negative affect) in a sample of cancer patients. The positive effect of music therapy on health and well-being outcomes has been corroborated in a plethora of empirical studies (Segall, 2018). However, whether the positive effects found in therapeutic settings transfer to the everyday life context as well, is less well known.…”

How music can provide a pathway to affective well-being has mostly been investigated with regard to listening to music or music therapy. Comparatively less is known about the effects of active music making on well-being in everyday life or its underlying mechanisms. Self-Determination Theory emphasizes the importance of fulfillment of the needs for autonomy, competence and relatedness for well-being and offers a valuable framework for explaining the postulated link between music making and well-being. In the present daily-diary study, 1,042 hobby musicians (age range 13 to 82 years; 65.3 % female) completed online assessments of their music making, need fulfillment, and positive and negative affect each day for ten consecutive days. Results showed that need satisfaction and positive affect were higher, while need dissatisfaction and negative affect were lower on days when participants reported music making. Multilevel structural equation models indicated that the effect of music making on positive affect was mediated by satisfaction of all three needs, with statistically significant indirect effects via autonomy and competence at both the within-and between person level, and relatedness only at the between-person level. There were no statistically significant mediation effects for negative affect. This study is the first to provide evidence for higher affective well-being of hobby musicians on days of music making.Results further suggest satisfaction of basic psychological needs as a mediating mechanism and emphasize the importance to distinguish between indicators of positive functioning (positive affect, need satisfaction) and negative functioning (negative affect, need dissatisfaction).

BackgroundAlzheimer dementia (AD) constitutes a major societal problem with devastating neuropsychiatric involvement. Pharmaceutical interventions carry a heightened risk of side effects; thus, nonpharmacological interventions such as music-based interventions (MBIs), including music therapy, are recommended.Recent FindingsThe 2023 Neurology release of the Music Based Intervention Toolkit for Brain Disorders of Aging showcased music's emerging role as an intervention to manage symptoms of various brain disorders while defining the building blocks of MBIs to guide research in the exploration of music's therapeutic potential.Implications for PracticeThis study extends beyond the research aspects of the MBI Toolkit to clinical applications by providing neurologists with a summary of MBIs, the MBI Toolkit, how board-certified music therapists (MT-BCs) administered music therapy is a unique MBI, and 10 reasons why they should make referrals to music therapy for their patients with AD.
