All enrolled participants will be assessed on their mood, past music experience and music
genre preference (music therapy assessment). They will complete the abridged Beck
(BDI-2-fastscreen) questionnaire, the stoke and aphasia quality of life scale; a Likert which
measures distress; the Western Aphasia Battery (WAB); the NIH Stroke Scale (SS); the Figely
compassion scale; and the driving scene test (Stern and White); and the Rankin. In additional
we will take saliva samples from all participants to measure hormone levels.
