Keeping older voices healthy through songHi Margaret You’re right, music can help stimulate and bring long-forgotten memories flooding back. We also know that singing can help reduce anxiety and depression, help maintain speech and language for those suffering with dementia. I’ve done bit of research and there are a few organisations like Singing for the Brain, Music for Life, Lost Chord and Golden Oldies that offer that type of programme. I’m very much focussed on getting people to rekindle their love of singing and helping the many thousands of amateur singers out there. I’m currently working with a student in her 60s who has Parkinson disease and we work through tongue twisters, movement and shaping the sound to help her voice and her condition. All the best, Sally
