Can music play a role in healthy aging? According to new research, the answer might be yes.

Studies are uncovering how musical activities—like singing, playing instruments, or even listening to music—can positively impact the brain and overall well-being as we grow older.

This "musical medicine" has been linked to improvements in cognitive function, memory retention, and emotional health, offering a holistic approach to aging.

The research is showing that engaging with music can help boost mood, reduce stress, and even slow cognitive decline.
