Music for Life - Interactive Dementia Music Sessions Wigmore Hall

Music for Life brings together professional musicians, care staff and people living with dementia through interactive music sessions.

Music for Life aims to enhance the quality of life of its participants and to demonstrate to carers the emotional, social and physical potential of people in their care.

Projects take place in residential homes and special day care centres, and focus on people who can be isolated and disempowered as a result of the advanced stage of their dementia.

During projects, specially trained musicians work alongside small groups of people with dementia and their carers, drawing out individuals and enhancing communication. These musical and personal interactions identify and build upon areas still intact in a person suffering the losses associated with the later stages of Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia – memory, physical capacities, personality changes and accompanying loss of identity.
