This study will explore the effects of music training on central auditory processing, cognition, and everyday function of older adults with and without mild cognitive impairment. Central auditory processing refers to the ability to understand the meaning of sounds. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two types of music training for 10 weeks. The 90-minute sessions will be led by a trainer twice a week in groups of up to 10 people and will include listening to music, learning about music, and learning to read music or play a musical instrument. Before and after the training program, participants will take tests that measure central auditory processing, cognition, and everyday function.
