In-depth interviews were conducted with 9 people who participated in music activities for a total of 15 sessions, this was analyzed by applying the analysis method of Moutakas(1994). In the research process, questions were first constructed through an open-ended questionnaire, and then experiences were described in detail through in-depth interviews. The results are as follows. First, what they experienced was ‘internal change in individuals’ and ‘changes in extended relationships’. ‘Internal change in individuals’ was shown as ‘emotional change’, ‘physical change’, and ‘self change’. And ‘change in expanded relationships’ was shown as ‘understanding of others’, ‘change of relationship with the deceased’, ‘change of family relationship’ and ‘change in the community’.
