Title

  • Music and the Brain: The Positive Affects of Music Therapy on Health

Summary

  • Why can someone with Alzheimer's disease recall lyrics to songs when they can't remember the names of their children? Why can a stroke survivor sing words to a familiar song even though they cannot speak? Drawing from more than 30 years of clinical experience and current research into the therapeutic applications of music for persons with acute or chronic health conditions, Concetta Tomaino will explain how and why music is an effective tool to enhance neurologic function, ability and quality of life.
