Abstract

The aging process is dynamic and progressive, leading to decline in the domains of communication and socialization. The aim of this essay is to present benefits of musicalization practices for older adults, focusing on cognitive and psychosocial aspects. Using music as a tool for interventions may benefit several aspects frequently impaired during aging, including structures of communication, such as speech and audition, and stimulating cognition and neural plasticity through new learning experiences. Furthermore, singing in a choir stimulates environments for developing social support. Therefore, choir may be recommended as a strategy to promote quality of life improvement for older adults.
