Who Will Benefit from this Activity?

This Sing Along CD and Song Book set is suitable for everyone and will be enjoyed by people in all stages of dementia.  Everyone has memories connected to a favourite song or songs.  Some memories might transport us back to childhood, some may take us to a different time or place and some will just brighten our day, relax and stimulate us.  Even in later stages of dementia, the person can still enjoy familiar songs, and certain music can often trigger memories and emotions.  People in later stages of dementia often remember the lyrics of songs that they may not have heard for years. A person with dementia who is unable to string a sentence together, and stumbles to find the right words to communicate, might sing along to a familiar old song without hesitation.
