TEDMED | How music can rescue and restore our humanity @TEDMED | Uploaded September 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Much research has shown that there is a deep connection between music and the mind. It sparks memory, invokes empathy, and allows for emotional release. Musical Visionary Beatie Wolfe suggests that it goes even a step farther. Beatie believes that music creates a profound imprint on the brain and has the ability to reach deeper than perhaps any other experience. She believes that this imprint is due in part to the storytelling, tangibility, and ceremony associated with music. When her grandmother was diagnosed with dementia, she found that music could not only feed her own soul, but could evoke feeling from those who may no longer be able to connect or communicate. By bringing music to care homes across the UK, she saw dementia patients break out of mute or catatonic states, and pioneered a far-reaching movement around music for dementia.
