Music & Memory Program
In 2015, the Southern Arizona Arts and Cultural Alliance partnered with MUSIC & MEMORY℠, to bring this life changing program to Southern Arizona. SAACA administers the program in local memory care facilities in the region.
The approach is simple, elegant and effective: Set up personalized music playlists for those in memory care programs and residences and download the selections on iPods or other digital devices. When played, these musical favorites tap deep memories not lost to dementia and can bring participants back to life, enabling them to feel like themselves again, to converse, socialize and stay present. No one wants to end up alone and isolated in a nursing home. It’s hard enough to lose someone you love to Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. It’s terrifying to think you could end up there yourself, someday. MUSIC & MEMORY℠, work is rooted in extensive neuroscience research. The results are nothing short of miraculous. |
But there is reason to hope for a better life as we age. By using the MUSIC & MEMORY℠ technique, we help people in nursing homes and other care organizations, who suffer from a wide range of cognitive and physical challenges, to find renewed meaning and connection in their lives through the gift of personalized music.
