On November 20, the Institute for Music and Neurologic Function (IMNF) is hosting the Music Has Power® Symposium and Awards Ceremony, bringing together leaders in music therapy, neuroscience, and senior healthcare to delve into the transformative role of music for enhancing brain health and wellbeing. This event offers dynamic discussions, presentations, and interactive sessions. While music activities may be present in most care settings, these activities don’t provide all of the therapeutic benefits that are possible with music therapy-informed interventions and programs. Best practices from music therapy are transforming dementia care and have the potential to improve healthcare – and health – for older people and their caregivers.
