Mission:
Bridging relationships between people with dementia, their families, and the greater community who serve them through live musical interactions, training, and research in music-based approaches.
Musical Bridges to Memory™ is a one-of-a-kind program, unique for its emphasis on supporting the relationship between individuals with dementia and their families. ITA partners with memory-care facilities in the Midwest region of the United States to teach caregivers and family members of people living with the disease how music-based techniques can be used to stimulate memory and language, thereby prolonging the length of time that families remain in harmony.
Musical Bridges to Memory™ is generously funded by an anonymous donor and the Dementia Society of America. To learn more about how you can support this program, contact Amanda Ziemba.
For information on bringing Musical Bridges to Memory™ to your memory-care facility, contact Jeffrey Wolfe.
