The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a music-based intervention can acutely improve three types of attention (alerting, orientating, executive control) in people with aphasia following a stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is a music based intervention effective at improving attention with someone who has aphasia? 2. Does music-induced changes in attention improve language abilities and quality of life with someone who has aphasia? Researchers will compare a group that listening to music, to listing to an audiobook group, to a group that serves as a control to see if there are changes in attention over time. Participants will: 1. Listen to music or an audiobook for 30 minutes a day for 8 weeks 2. Complete a daily journal about each day's listening experience 3. Complete three testing sessions where attention, language, and quality of life are assessed.
