Welcome to the Alzheimer Society Music Project

The Alzheimer Society Music Project helps individuals with dementia reconnect with the soundtrack of their lives. We provide MP3 players filled with personalized music tailored to each person’s unique tastes and memories. This personalized music experience can significantly benefit those living with dementia by enhancing physical and social activity, rekindling old memories, and improving sleep, mood, cognition, communication, and overall quality of life.

The Benefits of Music

When an individual with dementia is exposed to music they listened to earlier in their lives, they may be able to recognize the song and even recall some part of the memory they previously associated with the song. The well-researched benefits of personalized music include improvements in mood, cognition, and communication; it can stimulate memories and promote relaxation.
