Music
Even when other abilities are severely affected, many people still enjoy
activities relating to music. Musical memory is often retained when other
memories are lost. There are many ways to enjoy music, including listening,
singing, following the rhythm and moving to the music.
Evidence suggests that music can improve someone's mood, behaviour and
wellbeing. Physically responding to the music (through dance or movement to
rhythm) can offer a chance for exercise and non-verbal communication. Favourite
songs or pieces of music can also be powerful prompts for reminiscence.
