What is your favorite song? When you listen to that song, what memories, thoughts, and/or feelings come up for you? Individuals diagnosed with dementia may struggle with their memory or to communicate with you, but research shows that music is one of the tools we can use to provide a connection with our loved ones. That is the power of music.
Join us as Tara Jenkins discusses the power of music with older adults, specifically the impact music therapy can make in dementia care.
Guest: Tara Jenkins, a board-certified music therapist, certified dementia practitioner, co-author of “Music, Memory, and Meaning: How to Effectively Use Music to Connect with Aging Loved Ones” and the founder of Harmony in Dementia, which provides group and individual music therapy services, music consultation services, and music workshops and training for older adults, carers, and professionals.
