Since doing Music Helps, I started singing to my client and now she sings along, and hums along to every song. Her confidence has grown, she speaks a few words, and yesterday she was trying to feed herself crumpets, which she’s never done in months apparently. Thank you, it’s really made a difference, not only for her but for her daughter as well.

Lots of good, practical examples that will be useful in different scenarios and with different people.

It’s been a fantastic course, easy to follow, and I have enjoyed completing the tasks.

I found the course really useful on many levels. I am a music in healthcare practitioner and so use a lot of the techniques used in the training. However it has been informative as to why they are useful for people living with dementia and to understand dementia better.

Super course, relevant to many settings and very clear techniques, thank you.

I think all the information was explained very well and easy to understand.

Music absolutely helps people with dementia come out of their shell. It’s amazing what a transition I’ve seen happen in a matter of a week and a half.
