The purpose of this study is to explore whether intensive music therapy can help improve cognitive functions like memory, attention, and decision-making skills in stroke patients who are undergoing rehabilitation. This is a feasibility study, meaning it's also designed to see how practical it is to include music therapy as part of stroke rehabilitation. The investigators want to learn how well patients can participate in and stick with this type of therapy, and whether it fits well with other treatments that stroke patients usually receive. By understanding this, the investigators can assess the resources, staff training, and planning needed for music therapy to be part of stroke recovery in the future. The study will also help the investigators estimate the effects of music therapy, which will be used to design a larger, more detailed study in the future.
