Mindsong Dementia Training
Gloucestershire

Mindsong is delivering experiential training that aims to equip musicians with an awareness of dementia.

Training is led by Mindsong music therapists who help attendees understand not only what dementia means for both people living with dementia and those who care for them but, importantly, how the brain reacts to music even in later stages of dementia.  

This awareness enables musicians to visit care homes and play for people rather than to them.   It supports musicians to expand their repertoire and using experiential learning helps musicians to focus less on their impressive musicianship and more on maximising contact with people through music.
