More music activities
Hi, I have just added a couple of music activities in 'Activities for people with Dementia' and here are some suggestions to be carried out by carers/nurses/volunteers
- Singing with clients as they are dressed in the mornings
- Tuning radio to suit clients preferences
- Using music as a strategy to distract from unacceptable behaviour
- Engaging clients in responding to music: Clapping, tapping and moving.
- Using music to enhance exercises
- Using music for reality orientation
- Instructing and encouraging on how too use percussion instruments

Thank you for many years of wonderful ideas that you have given me through Golden Carers. Your ideas and opportunities for networking with other activities people have been a great resource for me to access. Wishing your wonderful organisation all the best.
