For people with dementia, the world can become a lonely and
isolated place. Music has long been a vital instrument in
transcending cognitive issues; bringing people together, and
allowing a person to live in the moment. Connecting through Music
with People with Dementia explains how a caregiver can learn to use
melody or rhythm to connect with someone who may be otherwise
non-responsive, and how memories can be stimulated by music that
resonates with a part of someone's past. This user-friendly book
demonstrates how even simple sounds and movements can engage people
with dementia, promoting relaxation and enjoyment. All that's
needed to succeed is a love of music, and a desire to gain greater
communication and more meaningful interaction with people with
dementia. The book provides practical advice on using music with
people with dementia, and includes a songbook suggesting a range of
popular song choices and a chapter focusing on the importance of
caregivers looking after themselves as well as the people they care
for. Suitable for both family and professional caregivers with no
former experience of music therapy, and for music therapy students
and entry level professionals, this accessible book will lay bare
the secrets of music therapy to all.
