Primary outcomePrimary: Preference Rating — 14; 3; 3 Participants
Summary
The trial will test whether a standard music program that is an offset to the general program provides the same benefit as a music program that is individually customized for each test participant. The trial seeks to investigate the benefit received by musicians that regularly play an instrument and belong to an organized music group or orchestra instead of people that listen to music.
