History of System / Description of System
The TraceyAnnMusicSystem enables those with dementia/acquired brain injury/learning disabilities in Care Homes to learn/relearn the piano
if at all able (and other instruments is an interest is expressed ). For those who haven't ever played, to show them they CAN play the piano in a meaningful and
relaxing way and to use music to bring forward memories that may still be there but not often thought about. I have singing groups where some participants can
hardly speak but love to SING! I have residents who played the piano years ago, and now with failing memories thought it would not be possible to play again, and yet,
with guidance and support from myself, can play for others in their Home to sing along to.

I've heard so many times in the past 'I'm too old for that dear' and yet I have people play for others in their Home to sing along to.

The benefits of music to health are becoming much more realized in the Care Home setting, with the 'feel good' factor continuing to last beyond the end of the session.
