Singing together activates the brain and provides joy, connection, and contact.

Why Sing?

Music provides peace, joy, and relaxation. Singing together brings back memories you thought were gone forever. This way, communal singing enhances the quality of life for those who need it most.

Singing does not offer a cure, nor does it slow down the deterioration process, but it does increase the quality of life because your loved one has fun, is alert, and enjoys the music.

“When I no longer know the things, when I no longer know the names, and immediately forget what I say so that I am unrecognizable.
