Music offers so much to those living with dementia and also to those caring for people with dementia.

For all of us, it can help to improve our mood. Cheerful uplifting music or songs that are familiar, that we may want to sing along to or remind us of a happy occasion.

Enjoying music together and spending a happy time singing, dancing or reminiscing will be a great memory for the future.

Connecting to the rhythm and moving in time to music is a great way to get some movement and exercise into the day.

Talking about the memories that are inspired by a song helps to stimulate conversation where your loved one contribute equally.
