Music Remembers Me by Kirsty Beilharz brings to life the experience of people living with dementia and their interaction with music.
While a diagnosis of dementia may be stressful and challenging, Music Remembers Me equips people living with dementia and those who support them with positive, meaningful ways of using music to enjoy experiences together - maximising feeling and connection.
Music Remembers Me includes moving stories from music engagement at HammondCare along with practical advice and tips about introducing music into daily care, through an Australian-first project involving more than 700 aged care residents. Beilharz has woven together fascinating insights into music, our brains and dementia with practical advice on music engagement.
This groundbreaking book is written with the general reader in mind and is a vital resource for supporting people living with dementia in Australia and around the world.
