| Annotation | 'Music reawakening' provides guidance to spread music practice for people affected by early to mid stage dementia and carers nationwide. It is also the outcome of Arts4dementia's Best Practice Symposium, 'Musicianship and Access for Early Stage Dementia - The Way Forward' held on 17 April 2015 at London's Wigmore Hall. The report presents programmes by leading opera companies, orchestras and choirs - most offered free to families affected by dementia. It illustrates music education opportunities and neurological evidence of the power of music to increase and maintain cognitive activity, improve wellbeing, reduce isolation in dementia, and reduce the risk of developing dementia.
