Studies indicate that brain regions associated with musical memory are among the last to be affected by Alzheimer's disease. This preservation allows patients to recall and enjoy music from their past, providing a sense of familiarity and comfort. Engaging with music can evoke positive emotions and memories, contributing to improved mood and quality of life.

Music therapy has been shown to enhance cognitive abilities and emotional well-being in individuals with Alzheimer's. Listening to music, singing, or playing instruments can stimulate brain activity, leading to improvements in memory recall, attention, and language skills. Additionally, music therapy can reduce anxiety, depression, and agitation, promoting a more positive emotional state.

Caregivers can incorporate music into daily routines to support the well-being of individuals with Alzheimer's. Playing familiar songs during activities can enhance engagement and cooperation. Encouraging participation in musical activities, such as singing or simple instrument play, can provide a sense of accomplishment and joy. Tailoring music choices to the individual's preferences and cultural background can maximize the therapeutic benefits.
