Music & Memory Listening volunteer at Vivium

Listen with their care-dependent elderly to their personal favorite music.

Music & Memory organizes together with Vivium that there are MP3 players with favorite music ready.

Listening together with the resident can provide peace, pleasure and relaxation. It can also lead to a conversation about the personal history of the residents.

On the property:

• Makes contact with the resident

• Offer the headphones to the resident

• Listens to a resident's music with his or her own headphones and splitter

• Seeks eye contact and follows the resident's reaction

• Sings or moves with the music

You get an explanation of how the players work in advance, and it is nice if you can come by a couple of times a month to listen to the residents.

For inspiration you can watch the clip of Henry "Alive Inside" on youtube, to see what the effect of personal favorite music can be.
