How to Ensure Success When Using Music in Dementia Care

Mike Good and Mary Sue Wilkinson on the Together in This Dementia Empowerment Series

The power and importance music plays in dementia care is widely known. But knowing how to harness the power and properly apply music isn’t.

In this dementia care class, professional musician and dementia-care trainer Mary Sue Wilkinson teaches us how to get the most out of music therapy and utilize it to enrich the lives of our loved ones who are living with dementia.
