More evidence though those who know already know 😊

Music therapy is transforming dementia care.

At the recent NHS Scotland event, our music therapist Harry Harris presented a compelling poster showing how music therapy is making a real difference on an older adult mental health ward.

From reducing stress and distress to boosting engagement and lowering medication use, Harry’s work highlights the powerful impact of non-drug interventions in dementia care.

📊 Findings from Harry’s study revealed:

✔️ 93% reduction in stress & distress
✔️ Increased patient engagement
✔️ Lower use of medication on music therapy days

Love this! 🎵

"Music has an uplifting, feel-good connection for people no matter their physical, mental or spiritual health. Time and again we see it bringing folk together and having the most amazing therapeutic benefits. It has wonderful effects for staff on their own wellbeing, and seeing patients interact, smile and sing also lifts staff's mood.

In my opinion, Music in Hospitals & Care is such a needed experience for staff, patients and families. For a part of their day they can experience joy, communication and social inclusion to feel connected. The power that music has to touch people should never be underestimated." 😌🎶

Totally agree!! The innate musical being...

Happy World Music Day! We believe that to be human is to be musical: it's a universal language we all connect with.

Sone useful musical tips 🤗

In our latest CPD, we explored ways to adapt music-making for very young children with complex needs—tuning into subtle responses, creating space for child-led play, and finding new ways to support agency and access.

More CPD coming this autumn, and our Interactive Music-Makers are always welcome to reach out anytime.
