Stevie Wonder on his 1977 classic “Sir Duke.”And a new study reveals that music is helping to foster nonverbal communication for dementia patients. The study — recently published in the journal Alzheimer Disease and Associated Disorders — examines how a program called Musical Bridges to Memory has been helping these patients connect with their loved ones after they have lost the ability to communicate verbally.In the program, which was developed by the nonprofit Institute for Therapy Through the Arts, a live ensemble plays music.
The idea is for the music to spur interaction between the patient and their caregiver by singing, dancing or playing simple instruments. Even as dementia progressively takes its toll on the mind and its memories, it doesn’t affect the ability to enjoy music until much further in the course of the disease. “They can process music, they can get it, they receive it, they respond to it, they can dance with it, they can play with it, they can sing along with it,” Dr.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic When Fox’s “Monarch” premiered to strong ratings following an NFL game on Sept. 11, there was a big sort-of-maybe cliffhanger: Can the Susan Sarandon character, touted as a series lead, really be as dead as she appeared to be at the end of the pilot? But there were other questions, too. Like: Will this be a series in which the characters are portrayed as having originated a lot of the big hits of country and pop, from “Family Tradition” to “Man! I Feel Like a Woman” to “Born This Way”? Will the middle American audience be completely down with a story that has an out lesbian character vying to become a country superstar?
