Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this study is to test the study method and procedure for individualized piano instruction (IPI) and its impact on chemotherapy related cognitive impairment (CRCI) symptoms. There have been studies that show the benefits of leaning to play the piano keyboard on cognitive skills in children and elderly populations. The information collected from the program will be used to examine the feasibility of implementing this program permanently

- Post-Individualized Piano Instruction Feasibility Questionnaire
- timeFrame
- Up to 8 weeks
- description
- An investigator-designed questionnaire will be administered to participants, assessing their opinions about the program. The questionnaire includes multiple sections assessing participant session attendance, the effectiveness of the program, and how enjoyable it was. Total percentage scores will be calculated for each section. The Participants' attendance section scores range from "1" to "4" sessions. A higher number of sessions attended indicates greater perceived program feasibility. Questions assessing program effectiveness asked participants about their daily and weekly piano routines. Responses range from "not very easily" to "very easily". A higher positive response percentage indicates greater perceived program feasibility. Program enjoyment questions asked participants to rate their satisfaction. Responses range from "not enjoyable" to "very enjoyable".A higher positive response percentage indicates greater perceived program feasibility.
