Abstract In this study, we analyzed the effectiveness of a musical intervention based on micro-concerts on the physical and mental health of elderly people in nursing homes. Using an experimental design, 93 people aged 85.33 years (SD = 8.14) were evaluated, of which 80.6% were women, half (47) made up the experimental group that received a 45-minute musical intervention for 15 weekly sessions. A measure was taken before the intervention, another one after session 7 and the las one at the end of the intervention in the experimental and control group. The results indicated that music produced an improvement in physical health (η2partial = 0.059 to 0.099) and mental health (η2partial = 0.039) in the experimental group compared to the control group, which allows us to conclude that a musical intervention produces an improvement in the quality of life of the elderly.
