| Annotation | The author aims to demonstrate the value and effectiveness of music therapy through instructive and spontaneously improvised music making and singing, or playing familiar music from a client's past. A series of short vignettes describe how relationships can be made both in individual sessions and in groups, where older people are heard, responded to and valued, not only as people who had a life in the past, but who continue to have a life. The article also reviews the benefits of the role of music therapy in the context of the institutional community as a whole, and how it has developed in response to the needs of the people wbo live and work there.
