abstract="<p><b>Aim:</b> To study the effect of Baroque music in people with dementia.</p> <p><b>Methods:</b> Patients in a multicultural dementia‐specific aged care facility were subjected to Baroque music in a cross‐over study.</p> <p><b>Results:</b> There were significantly more behavioural disturbances during the weeks when Baroque music was played compared to control periods (0.2 more episodes per week, <i>P</i>= 0.01), and more episodes in the afternoon shift compared to evening shift (1 more episode per week, <i>P</i>= 0.001).</p> <p><b>Conclusion:</b> These results confirm that music can influence behaviour but is contrary to previous results.</p><p />",
