Group\u2010based music interventions spanned 10\u00a0weeks (2\u00a0\u00d7\u00a060\u2010minute sessions\/week) and included receptive (listening, reminiscing) and expressive (singing, movement) activity. DMI comprised pre\u2010recorded video sessions followed on screen with a non\u2010therapist facilitator; CMT was delivered live by professional music therapists. Outcomes were assessed at baseline (T1), 3 months (T2), and 6 months (T3), measuring cognition, mood, quality of life, and caregiver well\u2010being. Primary outcomes were changes in general cognition (Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease Chandler total; T1\u2013T2). Primary and sensitivity analyses used linear mixed\u2010effects models in whole, HOME, and CARE samples.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>No significant effects of CMT or DMI were found for primary general cognition outcomes in primary or sensitivity analyses. Across exploratory secondary outcomes, compared to SC, CMT improved naming (T1\u2013T2) and verbal learning (T1\u2013T3) in the whole sample and executive function in HOME (T1\u2013T2). Compared to a decline in SC, prompted autobiographical memory was maintained by DMI and CMT in the whole sample (T1\u2013T2) and by DMI in CARE (T1\u2013T2). Sensitivity analyses largely supported these findings. No significant differences were observed between DMI and CMT.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>DISCUSSION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>CMT and DMI did not yield effects on primary general cognition outcomes.
