is music important for seniors???


well i'm up this morning and looking for some fun so I thought i'd write a bit. I had an interesting conversation at work 2 days ago . I asked a nurse if she thought music was really benificial to the clients I was entertaining that afternoon by playing piano and singing to/with them .........we talked about that ...she seemed to think that music was really important to folks , seniors, in nursing homes , etc. and my point was why doesn't the gov't see it that way???...I see the benefit of music because I'm working in seniors homes all the time . Has music therapy grown in the past 10 years??? what do you think ???
