late-stage dementia”
Queen Margaret UniversityMSc Music Therapy
2012
If you have experience using music therapy with those with dementia and would like to be included in a Ph.D. aimed at reducing the use of anti psychotic medication for those with dementia please add your name to my list.

THE PROJECT
Prior to my Music Therapy course I had experience as a care assistant in homes in Oxon, CAMBS and Scotland
Gave me ideas for future study
As part of my dissertation in my second year approached a nursing home with my project idea.
Began with 3 clients, once a week for 8 weeks.

'HOW THE CLIENT IS....' Scale was evaluated by Mahoney (2009)
Found 74% interrator congruence, even in non-Nordoff Robbins trianed music therapists
As used by Groß, Linden and Ostermann (2010) “Effects of music therapy in the treatment of children with delayed speech development – results of a pilot study”

She was incredibly observant!
By the end of the eight sessions she was championing music therapy and it's use for clients with dementia.

Mary sitting in an armchair, music therapist next to her with a ukulele.
Music therapist plays 'So long, farwell, a known song to Mary.
After many repeats Mary reaches out to touch a string. She let's out a deep sigh. This is one of the only times she plays an instrument.
![Page 18: Melanie Burton, two case studies. Case Studies “The benefit of music therapy to those with late-stage dementia” Queen Margaret University MSc Music Therapy.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649ca55503460f94966210/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
CASE STUDY - MARY
Mary seemed to concentrate on making the movement necessary to pluck the string.
Mary was in subsequent sessions more vocal
Mary used her voice to communicate
![Page 19: Melanie Burton, two case studies. Case Studies “The benefit of music therapy to those with late-stage dementia” Queen Margaret University MSc Music Therapy.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649ca55503460f94966210/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
CLIP 2 – MARY
Next clip is by Mary's bedside
On this occasion Mary could be heard from three floors away, she sounded restless
Mary had responded well to improvisations around her vocalisations
Mary showed signs of responding to musics structure, I used this to encourage Mary to interact
After this session Mary was quiet and was able to rest
![Page 20: Melanie Burton, two case studies. Case Studies “The benefit of music therapy to those with late-stage dementia” Queen Margaret University MSc Music Therapy.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649ca55503460f94966210/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
CLIP 2 - Bedside
Mary is in bed, sighing deeply. Music Therapist is opposite with a violin Mary sighs loud and long, therapist matches with violin Mary pauses Music therapist allows a melody around the note Mary sang
Mary continues to sigh, becoming less frequent, quieter, face becomes relaxed
Therapist uses C# to draw Mary into interacting
ENDS – Mary face looks more relaxed, seems more peaceful

MARYS' TONIC
THE IMPORTANCE OF STRUCTURE
Taking Mary's D as the tonic
Consciously using the C# to encourage interaction Encouraging continued interaction by never resolving
the melody Aspects of atonal/ modal playing to avoid implication
of mood, and resolution

OUTCOMES RELATED TO MARYS CASE STUDY
Mary responded to structure – this maybe an important area for more research
Mary was able to respond to music
Mary was aware of the therapist and her music
Mary grew familiar with the therapist

GERALDINECase Study 2.
Geraldine “Don't take her, we haven’t found a way of
interacting with her...” (Carer)
“don't take it for granted that they can't hear or understand us”
The very reason I started this project!
![Page 24: Melanie Burton, two case studies. Case Studies “The benefit of music therapy to those with late-stage dementia” Queen Margaret University MSc Music Therapy.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649ca55503460f94966210/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
GERALDINE
Geraldine was confused, very introverted and isolated with periods of agitation and anxiety.
Use of 'Hello Song'.
Geraldine showed a preference for blues
I used a variety of playing songs and improvising with Geraldine.

CLIP 1 – HELLO SONG
Moments of interaction / moments of still attentiveness
Getting to know one another
Notice how the other clients are in the room?

REDUCING ANTI-PSYCHOTIC MEDICATION
NHS audit on use of anti-psychotics says 80% are inappropriately prescribed
Anti psychotics can lead to reduced mobility, increasing fall risk, lack of attention, makes people tired
In fact, anti psychotics increase the risk of many of the adverse symptoms associated with dementias.
Nursing homes urged to reduce Anti psychotic use At present, there are little alternatives
New research on psychotherapy
