The Science Behind the Song

Category: Triangle Chapter
“The Science Behind the Song” Presented by: Steve Toll, Care Enhancement Specialist with ComForCare Home Care. Steve is a lifelong musician and dementia care expert who will present relevant information about the benefits of using music in care. Musical memories are the last to deteriorate. This explains why individuals who rarely speak will often spontaneously sing when a familiar song is played and those who experience trouble walking are often motivated to stand and dance in place. Music can help organize the brain, and this is especially vital for people with dementia. Scientific studies have proven the effectiveness of music. Steve will demonstrate recent findings through an interactive presentation featuring valuable information and musical examples.
