DESCRIPTION:<p>The wellbeing benefits of music participation are well docu
 mented for older adults and people living with dementia\, however\, the us
 e of traditional tools and instruments places limits on the extent to whic
 h an individual can be actively creating music. This talk draws on longitu
 dinal data from studies of novice older adults making music for the first 
 time\, and participatory research with community-based groups and resident
 ial care homes in co-designing new music technologies. Here\, Dr MacRitchi
 e argues for a strength-based approach to underpin how we think about musi
 c participation in dementia care such that it includes not only therapeuti
 c models\, but makes space for genuine citizenship\, agency\, creativity a
 nd relationality.</p>
