Those who suffer from severe dementia lose their ability to walk, talk, feed themselves or communicate in any way. This can often lead to feelings of aggression, intimidation and humiliation. Recent research by The Alzheimer’s Society concluded that, over a 6 hour period, people in residential homes may only benefit from 2 minutes interaction, This can lead to a distinct lack of self esteem. Music provides the necessary stimulus to raise their self esteem and help them to continue to communicate

We provide interactive music to stimulate areas of the brain which are still intact and therefore promote wellbeing among people with dementia. We visit the homes on a monthly basis to build on the responses from the previous sessions. Music is often the only effective stimulus. With the onset of dementia the left hand side of the brain dealing with speech etc tends to die off first, however the right hand side dealing with music, song and dance can remain intact much longer.
