I used to work with dementia patients. I was always amazed at how pianists could play and singers could remember lyrics they hadn’t sung in years. Yet they had no clue what their name was. Music truly is a part of your soul.

[@ms.cellaneous7458]

I worked at an assisted living and totally agree with what you said. I remember one particular lady who we had to walk her to the dining room for meals and remind her 3 or 4 times where we were going. Not every time, but once in a while when she finished eating, she would get up, walk to the piano in the corner and play the most beautiful music. When she finished playing we would walk her out. However, sometimes she would just stop playing, one of the staff would ask if she was ready to go. She would look them straight in the eye and say, "go, I thought you said it was time to eat." Oh I loved those people so much.

[@Geoplanetjane]

The music part of the brain isn’t hurt by the dementia

[@JustaMuteCat]

Depending on how severe the disease is, with given time it does. My aunt used to be a music teacher for the best of 60 years of her life and about a decade ago, when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at the age of 84, she couldn’t remember and actively told us she couldn’t or didn’t know some pieces that she used to play and teach us play when we were kids. When she is on a good day she sits and plays quite a few of classics with the precision and dexterity that you wouldn’t be able to believe came from a 93yo, a little less than 5’tall Asian woman that has been battling her condition silently for almost two decades (at first it was just little things, but when her husband finally took her seriously and took her to see a doctor it was to the point she couldn’t remember her way back home and would often leave as if spirited away if nobody was nearby). On bad days you could see the struggle in her eyes when she sat down the piano seat, staring around wondering where she was and why she couldn’t remember why she was there, the piano being the only thing she could recognize. Often times she would ask if she could go back because Ms. Morinaga was supposed to bring her daughter over for her lessons soon. We had audio recordings of her playing many different pieces and her husband would play the cassettes to her, she would then play along but when asked what piece it was and if she knew who was playing she would often draw a blank. While the skills could stay as muscle memory and play along if shown, be it by playing with her or playing a tape of the music, she never, to the best of my knowledge, played any piece she played and taught of the period after her marriage on her own after being diagnosed. Lots of classics, but anything outside regular curriculum circa 1960’s simply didn’t exist even on good days.

[@Cms7899]

With enough time, dedication, and access to educational resources, most people can become this good. Of course some people may intuitively pick up certain skills faster, but that doesn't mean others can't learn that same skill. The best musicians in the world didn't become the best over night, and the vast majority of them practiced for countless hours. The difference is that they had a true passion to play their instrument and persevered.

[@sir_ellias7444]

The ability to listen to and appreciate this music is a superpower too!

[@Heavenschild4Jesus]

I absolutely couldn't stop smiling. Still am! There is a dvd about dementia patients who sit for months in hospitals, unable to speak. Sitting in hospital beds, wheelchairs, then someone brings them earphones of their favorite music from back in the day. Their face immediately lights up, they actually start humming, responding to this beautiful stimuli. I cried through most of this amazing dvd. Music is a healer, as this precious video showed us, in the happy responses here. God bless these two wonderful musicians. They brightened my dark day!

[@maggietaylor9475]

My mum had Alzheimer’s and was in a semi-vegetative state most of the time. But when the staff played music from the 40s she would lift up her head and tap her feet and hands. When the music ended, she would revert back to that awful state once more. Music has such power as does the mind.

Lily Martens There is a virus, but imo what we are being told about it is exaggerated in order to impose more control over our lives. Hegelian dialectic! It makes me very angry. It also irritates me profoundly how little most people are prepared to do in order to dig deeper and find out for themselves what is going on - not just with the virus but about the state of the world in general, and like sheep, just follow orders from above without question. I find all the current restrictions irritating and frustrating because they are unnecessary, and are causing untold hardship and doing irreparable harm. On a personal level I am able to deal with this and find alternative ways of living day to day because of my own happy home circumstances but others are far less fortunate. Many people’s lives and livelihoods, and the economy, are being ruined for no good reason. As for enjoying life, I really do - to the utmost of my ability!

[@betsyhughes2208]

Hey There, while I love the sentiment, I kinda think this applies to all ages everywhere. I believe in talking time to talk to people, everyone has a story & that's what respect is, caring and time for all of us. Elderly always sounds so patronising, I know lots of folks older than me (57) & they'd wack me over the head if I said they were elderly!!! What most people want is just simple respect, courtesy & a little time. I know I do & my kids do & my friends ( all ages) do! I had a lady in my doctor's waiting room tell me "Everybody's had a hard life, what I like is having a good chat!!" My stepson is 24 & he is one of the wisest humans I know, he also loves to find out a person's story! 💖

This is one of many reasons why the piano remains a beloved instrument. It is a wonderful mixture of challenging, stimulating, exciting, expressive and fun. And it's a terrific way to bond or simply play around with other people. Technology has its place, but the acoustic piano has a special kind of timeless quality.
