Today it has been World Alzheimer's Day.
A lot of our intergenerational sessions involve bringing the joy of music and movement to residents, with dementia, who live in care homes.
Engaging with children alongside singing and enjoying music and stories help boost emotional and social elements of the brain. Music acts as a pathway to the brain's long term memory centre and playing old, familiar songs can spark up recognition.
Music offers a means of engagem and communication between children and residents in a fun and enjoyable environment. π
