Couples with dementia are still Together in Sound

The Homeside study was recently highlighted in a news article about online music therapy sessions for people living with dementia. Since the public health recommendation for vulnerable individuals to self-isolate due to COVID-19, music therapists and researchers from Cambridge Institute for Music Therapy Research have been moving their work online. The article states:

"ARU’s Cambridge Institute for Music Therapy Research is also currently adapting the five-country research project Homeside, which is funded by Alzheimer’s Society UK and aims to recruit over 400 couples, so that music and reading activities can be delivered online as part of the research.

Professor Odell-Miller added: ‘Our teams here are working tirelessly, both internationally through the Homeside research project and nationally with Music4dementia 2020, which is an organisation rolling out the Commission for Music and Dementia recommendations, launched in 2018 in the House of Lords, to prioritise access to music for anyone living with dementia.’”
