| Annotation | The authors are musicians, who founded Wellspring Music, which is dedicated to bringing high quality, interactive music into health care settings. They were commissioned by Arts Council England, Nottingham Hospitals' Charity and the League of Friends to bring music to "culturally disadvantaged" people with dementia in three locations: an acute hospital ward for older people who also have dementia, and two nursing homes in rural locations. This article reports on qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the project. It bring to the fore the sense of well-being engendered by the music-making activities (singing, dancing and playing instruments) for an estimated 1432 patients, residents, staff and relatives.
