We are gearing up for the March webinar already, and this month’s presenter comes to you from the U.K. Grace Meadows will be speaking about Music for Dementia 2020, and the campaign to use music to bring about change in dementia care.
Grace is a music therapist and a director with Music for Dementia 2020, The Utley Foundation in London, U.K. She is leading the campaign to make music available for people living with dementia.
February’s webinar is just days away, and you won’t want to miss this one.
Dr. Lee Bartel is professor emeritus of music, former associate dean – research at the Faculty of Music, University of Toronto, and the founding director of the Music and Health Research Collaboratory.
One of Room 217’s four pillars is education and training. Through the years, the Foundation has facilitated sharing information about using music in care in a number of ways; the annual Music Care Conference; our Music Care Training; Music Care Webinars; and now through the Virtual Learning Studio.
It’s hard to believe that I am writing about the first webinar of 2020 already. Wasn’t it only a few years ago we were worried about Y2K? I hope you’ve enjoyed (maybe even are still enjoying!) a wonderful holiday season, and have had time for some rest and relaxation.
It’s hard to believe that our last webinar of 2019 takes place next week. On Wednesday, Dec. 11, Sarah Metcalfe will present on Playlist for Life. Playlist for Life is a charity in the U.K. that believes that everyone with dementia should have a unique, personal playlist, and that everyone who loves or cares for them should know how to use it.
This is the second in a series introducing readers to the staff at Room 217 Foundation. This week’s blog is written by Deb Bartlett, resource lead at Room217.
What Maureen Flynn learned in Music Care Training affected her so greatly that she embedded music care as one of four pillars of care at Acclaim Health’s Alzheimer’s Services Department. Every club member there has a care plan, in which music is a component.
This is the third in our series that promotes our upcoming webinar.
This is our third installment of Meet the Board Members of Room 217. This one features Dr. Lee Bartel.
Where did September go? I can’t believe it’s time to promote October’s webinar already. This month’s webinar will be held Wednesday, Oct. 9 from 3:30 t 4:30 p.m. ET.
