Building on the success of their pre-pandemic training days, Sounds Better CIC (formerly Music for Wellbeing CIC) have launched a new, developed and expanded training course in Working Musically Alongside People with Dementia.

Taking place face to face over 4 days in the Salisbury area from March - September 2023 the course will take you from an introductory level to more advanced skills and ideas, including planning and reflecting models. You will be able to implement activities and ideas immediately, developing over time, working with a group of people with dementia, and connecting with others in the field.

This first day of the course - 'Developing' -  will provide an opportunity to extend and deepen your music practice and skills in working musically alongside people with dementia. It will include an introduction to songwriting and music creation, working musically in a person-centred way, and using instruments creatively. The day is aimed at people who have attended the first training day (28th March), and/or who already have experience in working musically alongside people with dementia.

By the end of the day, you will have: 

• explored new musical and creative activities that extend and deepen your practice
• considered the concepts of person-centred and relationship-centred ways of working
• connected with others in the field of music and dementia
