Is music important to you? (Did I hear a resounding yes!?) Here are two excellent videos about the effects of music on people with Alzheimers and dementia. The first is an interview, containing excerpts from a new documentary called Alive Inside: A Story of Music & Memory, democracynow.org/2014/1/22/alive_inside_how_the_magic_of. The second goes to a video, with some of the same material from the film, but it also includes an interview with the neurologist Dr. Oliver Sacks, musicandmemory.org/. (Scroll down about halfway for the Sacks interview.) Both are well-worth watching, especially by dancers, singers and musicians, because we know the extraordinary power of music. Many thanks to David Millstone for the links.
