After three-months of lessons, a decline in the degree of depression and CES-D scores, as wellas increase in summary scores of physical and mental QOL were observed. It was suggested that practicing and playing the piano is effective for maintaining and promoting mental health and QOL of healthy, middle and old aged peaple.
