The goal of this clinical feasibility study is to learn about the acceptability and feasibility of a music intervention in older patients undergoing cardiac surgery and Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) procedure. The primary question it aims to answer is: • What is the feasibility and acceptability of a music intervention to reduce PA in older patients undergoing cardiac surgery and TAVI? The secondary question is: • What is the effect of a music intervention on PA levels and the incidence of POD in older patients undergoing cardiac surgery and TAVI? Participants will * listen to music before the surgery/TAVI procedure * be evaluated for preoperative anxiety levels and postoperative delirium * be interviewed to learn about their perspectives regarding the music intervention
