The goal of this longitudinal, single-subject study is to investigate the role of motivation in music therapy for stroke patients within the subacute phase, who experience upper limb and/or attention deficits. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does music therapy increase patient's motivation to rehabilitate? * Do increases in motivation correlate with functional improvements, in particular upper limb and/or attention skills? Participants will receive up to 9 music therapy sessions within 3-5 weeks, with functional assessments before and after each period. Each participant serves as their own comparison: researchers will compare a period with standard care only (control phase) to a period with music therapy plus standard care (intervention phase), the order of which will be randomized in advance.
