³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

Rosanna Mead is the founder and director of Musica Music, based in Shillingstone near Blandford. It’s objective is to ‘harmonise healthcare by embedding music into the dementia care plans’.

She's delivering sessions at care homes today, as part of ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Music Day which, this year, has a theme of wellbeing.

³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Music is launching an initiative to help bring music to everyone living with dementia by 2020.

Rosanna, who's studying a PhD in Music and Dememtia, says that for people with dementia, music reaches parts of the damaged brain that other forms of communication can’t.
