What a lovely voice Faye thank you and the Singing For Fun for joining us. What a lovely morning.💚
Familiar melodies trigger deeply ingrained emotional memories, often reducing agitation, improving mood, and occasionally helping non-verbal patients speak or sing.

Singing is so powerful!
Thank you Faye, Rowan and her group Singing For Fun they joined Magnolia Friends group yesterday 💚
We definitely had Fun 😁
Most of us enjoy music 🎶 🎵
With memory loss/ Dementia music
Has its own magic.
It bypasses damaged areas of the brain to stimulate long-term memory, reduce anxiety, and help individuals recall words and emotions. Even when a person loses the ability to speak, they can often still sing familiar songs.
