Re: Why do people suffering from dementia sometimes start singing old song
Hi there, first of all please mind that a great deal of research has been done into the possible links between music and dementia over the past quarter century. So, it can be really helpful for such patients. Songs for dementia will benefit the patients socially and emotionally from musical activities like listening, singing, dancing, and playing instruments. To get more details on the topic I advise this resource about songs for dementia. Good luck
