Music Advocacy Facts

Fact pointer

A Florida study of 20 male Alzheimer's patients found that 30- to 40-minute morning sessions of music therapy (five times/week for four weeks) significantly increased melatonin levels in the blood, causing a relaxed and calm mood with the patients. Even more impressive, the melatonin levels increased even further at the six week follow-up.
