Together we have a wealth of knowledge about the benefits of music for people living with Dementia, their carers and family. We believe in empowering family carers, strengthening connections, promoting memory recall in order to provide a deeper understanding of the person behind dementia and improve their overall wellbeing.
The Musica Team
About Us
Where, Who & Why
We are a music and health social enterprise with a clear objective to harmonise healthcare by embedding music into the dementia care planning. Musica is built on the values of creativity, connection and collaboration.
Our team have a background of over 25 years working in the healthcare sector as arts facilitators and academics. We pride ourselves on our partner working, and our services have been co-designed with our stakeholders. We are members. of the National Dementia Action Alliance, and we are supporters of the Alzheimer’s Society, Alzheimer’s Research and NAPA.
We do not offer Music Therapy (although some of our team are Music Therapists); we are Community Musicians, enabling people to develop active and creative participation in music. We are members of Sound Sense, and have signed up to the ArtWorks code of practice.
