Abstract
In this chapter, we investigate what an ethnomethodological sensibility might bring to an understanding of the therapeutic use of music by persons with dementia. Ethnomethodology is typically concerned with the way in which ‘competent members’ use commonsense reasoning in order to go about the business of ordinary life. In this chapter we examine how persons living with dementia can nevertheless orient to the therapeutic ambitions of others in and through their interactions with others such as family members and care professionals.
