Know More About Us

This project has the overall obejective of developing a passive and active music making activities curriculum and training for dementia social and health care professionals and informal carers for providing them with competences, techniques and tools for dealing with older people with dementia (OPD), and a music-based non-pharmacological intervention addressed to OPD aimed at bettering the latter's behaviour, mood, cognitive functions and quality of life.

The SOUND methodology is something new, which is inspired to the Circlesinging (a singing form, where a group of singers, placed in a circle, “pass around” a basic sound or tune and make improvisation, created by Bobby Mcferrin in the USA) and Circleactivities – a set of creative and music-oriented activities carried out in circle.

The methodology of Circlesinging was first used in Italy by Albert Hera, a musician from Turin, in the educational field, targeting musicians and music professionals. Its use has been extended to different worlds also distant from the artistic-musical one, e.g. in team building projects and in caring environments. Underlying these forays outside the confines of the artistic world is the strong conviction that art can be a powerful medium in the service of wellbeing and thus of care and caring, whether in groups or organisations, or in people suffering from degenerative diseases such as dementia.
