Elderly Care
My grandfather did not even remember his own name; he didn’t remember his wife or anyone else; he had even forgotten how to speak. But when John Lennon sang to him, it moved him enough to dance. The brain processes language out of just one place; if that part of the brain comes to be damaged, there is no other way to bring the ability back. Music though, is a much more deeply established ability; it’s processed all over the brain, and it’s impossible to take it out until a person actually dies. You respond to music as an infant before you even learn to see properly; you respond to music in the end, after you forget how to see properly. Music therapy as a discipline has been around for 60 years now, and elderly care centers, hospices and schools rely on using it a great deal. Music therapy isn’t just about having people listen to music though. It’s more than that. You can find tips and guide Current Health Articles here
