Aged Care Concerts
We work with care providers, care settings, and the people that live and work in them, bringing the enjoyment, excitement and benefits of live music back into peoples’ lives, through one-off participatory concerts.
Why Music Is Important
Music sessions are designed to improve the lives of people with dementia by providing entertainment and comfort. How music works is simply amazing as it can offer benefits that conventional treatment couldn’t.
A meaningful music session can help someone with dementia shift their attention from present problems to finding solutions for them. Dementia affects the mood and can cause someone to lose hope at times. Music has the power to lift up a person’s spirit and offer them hope so that they can once again see the brighter side of life.
Music can also offer a methodical structure for stress relief. Scheduled music-related activities allow a person with dementia to engage themselves in breathing and relaxation sessions regularly, helping them release pent-up emotions and energy.
Consequently, music sessions can help in achieving a deep state of relaxation. Music with a slower tempo, in particular, can quiet the mind and cause tense muscles to relax. Since music promotes the production of dopamine in the brain, music wellness can be an excellent tool for improving one’s mood. Music can reactivate parts of the brain associated with memory and reward. The right kind of music can help a person with dementia visualise positive imagery, which consequently helps enhance their mood.
