Last year I led a “Change the World” project in my English class. My grandmother had recently died of Alzheimer’s, so I wanted to learn more about the disease and how I could help. I assembled a small team of girls who cared and knew someone who had been affected by Alzheimer’s. We read about research being done and remedies being developed, and discovered a small, non-profit, called Music and Memory. The movie Alive Inside showed how they use music to touch and “awaken” seniors suffering from dementia. We wanted to duplicate their processes and tools to stimulate the memory and happiness of several local elderly residents suffering from Alzheimer’s. We would personalize music for each seniors by his or her era and preference.
