Connecting and Caring through Music in Dementia Care

Mike Good And Rachelle Norman

Music is powerful in many ways, and it couldn’t be more true than in dementia care.

It affects our emotions and rekindles memories. It literally lights up our brain.

In this dementia care class, Connecting and Caring Through Music, music therapist Rachelle Norman discusses the power of music and how to use it most effectively in dementia care.

Rachelle discusses:

  • Cultural and brain-based reasons for the unique impact music can have for people with dementia
  • Important factors in choosing the best music
  • Unexpected ways to nurture relationships with music
  • How music can make routine caregiving tasks easier
