Music has a way of touching our hearts and making memories last. It can affect our moods and change the way we view life.  It can, also, take us back to certain times in our lives.  Our favorite songs are associated with important personal events can trigger the memory of lyrics and the experience connected to the music. Whether it’s your first school dance or another moment in your life, music and memory are often linked together.

For millions of aging Americans suffering from Alzheimer’s and dementia, listening to music can help the brain chemistry reconnect to the world and help improve the quality of life.  Through the help of Music & Memory, Inc., we can continue giving the best quality of life through music therapy.
