The Healing Power of Sound

Happy Blogday!
Recently, I had the honor of accompanying one of our FAM Music Therapists to a nursing facility, where she led a Musical Multi-Sensory Session for Memory Care residents. She played songs from the ’60s and ’70s on her violin, and everyone sang along.

At the end, I told one of the ladies, “I’m amazed that you knew every word to every song!”

This week’s blog explores the healing power of music and why it remains such an important part of healthy aging.
