Overview
Mindful Connections: A Sensory Appreciation of Music is a guide for understanding the therapeutic benefits of music and how to apply them among those who are cognitively slipping away from the personhood that connects our lives. Loving caregivers and home health attendants will learn the affects of music on memory... the powerful pleasure of rhythm, tempo, melody, and intensity activates recall of lyrics, articulation of speech and motivates movement while reigniting flashbacks of joy. As a resource for professional caregiving staff, Mindful Connections charts the neurological process music plays on cognitive, motor and affective functions with colorful illustrations and current research. Assessment tools provide the means to individualize music preferences. Mindful Connections is designed to promote, release and optimize that essence of memory we can revive through the mutual delight of playing music.
