The connection between music-making and wellness goes back to ancient times. In 2004 a group of scientists led by neurologist Dr. Barry Bittman, set out to determine whether recreational music-making activities could lower stress levels and stress-induced conditions such as heart disease and cancer. The research team discovered that participating in such activities not only lowered participants` stress levels and helped them relax, they also built confidence and self-esteem.  Recreational music making programs have been particularly effective among older adults in settings such as nursing homes, adult day centers and senior centers. 

Clavinova Connection is local example of a recreational music making program that are seniors may choose to get involved in.

Clavinova Connection
If you`ve always wanted to play piano, but don`t have any musical experience, Clavinova Connection maybe for you!  Clavinova Connection is a nationally-recognized program that uses digital pianos and a special curriculum to help help people with no prior experience successfully play their favorite musical selections, while at the same time reducing loneliness and stress, and boosting creativity.  Participants do not need to have any musical experience or knowledge to participate. Clavinova Connection is the first recreational music-making program offered to seniors in Ohio, as well as the first nationally to be used by a Council on Aging.

Caring for a loved one can be hard work. However, the National Family Caregivers Association says that people who recognize themselves as caregivers are more proactive, engaged and confident. As a result, they provide better care and are able to do so longer, even as their loved one’s care needs increase. Caregivers who access and use support services also report fewer negative emotions, such as depression, anxiety and anger. By seeking and accepting help, along with planning for the future, you can provide the care your loved one deserves while also making sure your needs are taken care of.

Through the National Family Caregiver Support Program, your area agency on aging and other local providers are ready to assist you with supports that may include:

• Training, resources, information and support groups;
• Respite care, adult day and medical alert services;
• Personal care, chore services and home delivered meals;
