| Annotation | The author reports on an inspirational project showing the power of participation in music, to improve cognition and well-being while reducing social isolation among people in the mild to moderate stages of dementia. Her article draws on her book, 'Music reawakening: musicianship and access for dementia: the way forward', which provides guidance to spread music practice for people affected by early to mid stage dementia and carers nationwide. The book (and this article) 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. This article focuses on learning and participation, singing and creating together, the reactions of participants, and future developments. (RH). |
