SENIORS
Music Therapy is amazing in its ability to trigger memories,stimulate movement, improve moods, and make people smile.  It can often reach the cognitively impaired when  nothing else can.  When used in retirement homes, nursing homes, or on geriatric wards, even seniors in wheelchairs who look out of touch  come alive, start singing, jump up and dance.  They join in with playing instruments, listening to old favorites, and reminiscing. They start interacting with one another.

  If you would like a music therapy group at your facility or for any group of seniors contact Deborah Spiegel MT-BC.
