This project will engage residents of The Birches Alzheimer Day Centre, Dundalk with a music therapist. Goals of this project will be to stimulate social and musical interaction, enhance feelings of wellbeing and improve quality of life for the participants. \u00a0The participants will be provided with the opportunity to connect with their personhood and identity. \u00a0Individuals living with Alzheimer’s Disease can reconnect with memories and others through music. \u00a0This is because music memories often remain in the brain even as language and other memories disappear. \u00a0Music has been proven to provide a greater sense of connection and socialisation for those who feel isolated. \u00a0 The music therapist will run two large groups at the centre to provide a personalised approach allowing clients to share, connect, create and engage with their peers through the accessible and familiar nature of music.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":29898,"template":"","class_list":["post-29897","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nMusic Therapy at the Birches Alzheimer Day Centre - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"This project will engage residents of The Birches Alzheimer Day Centre, Dundalk with a music therapist.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/music-therapy-at-the-birches-alzheimer-day-centre\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Music Therapy at the Birches Alzheimer Day Centre - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"This project will engage residents of The Birches Alzheimer Day Centre, Dundalk with a music therapist.
