3 Methodology

We set up two workshops in two residential care facilities in Sydney, Australia and used these to explore the extent to which people living with advanced dementia would be motivated to engage creatively in musical improvisation with electronically generated music using an unfamiliar musical instrument—The AirSticksTM. A total of eleven participants took part in the workshops each with a diagnosis of dementia, as advised by the care organisation with the duty of care for them. The project used a research through design approach by using developed design prototypes, in varying degrees of finish, to assess the interest and impact by and on people living with advanced dementia (Zimmerman and Forlizzi 2014). During the session the researchers made observations and notes of how people with dementia engaged with the various technologies present.
