Educational innovation project: songs for life

Abstract

This project that starts in a small town of Castellón (L’Alcora, Spain), includes a sample of 30 seniors between 60-90 years of age, who meet once a week to sing together. The participants do not have musical knowledge, the psychomotor control is varied, because this is also the difference in age, counting on one participant in a wheelchair, another with an injury to the left arm, two more with habitual deconcentration or forgetfulness. However, our proposal is aimed at the prevention of dementias, such as Alzheimer’s and provide a better quality of life, therefore, although the benefits of music are multiple and varied, we collect a small sample related to our interests
