The Magic of Music

“Where words fail, music speaks.” – Hans Christian Andersen

Truer words have not been spoken about the magic music can make for those with dementia. We can all remember special times in our past that are included in the soundtrack of our own lives. You know how that one song takes you right back to that special first love, or the joy you felt looking at your newborn child? That is the magic I am talking about. When people with dementia hear meaningful songs, it taps into a certain pathway that takes them back to their prior self, bringing them joy and a connection they often miss. In this video, I share 2 experiences I was blessed with today where I witnessed this magic myself.
