Music can be very effective. Studies have shown that music can positively impact people with dementia lifiting their spirit and imacting their behaviour, they may be able to tap a beat or sing lyrics to a song from their youth or childhood.
Arabian Tunes Music Leader Sam Himmat along with his singing partner conduct two-hour biweekly sessions in which they perform a wide variety of old and new popular Arabic songs from all around the Arab countries.
Participants will enjoy the social interaction in a friendly and homely atmosphere, as well as listening and singing along with the song lyrics provided so they can follow along through music.
The Musical Connections series provides an opportunity for people living with dementia and their friends and family to experience a live, in-person or virtual musical performances.
“Highly beneficial for my father. The session is interactive, from the reading of the songs, to singing, to the music, to the social aspect, all great stimulation for the brain.”
