Having a wide repertoire of activity ideas is important for any care home and well being coordinator to ensure they can deliver an engaging variety of activities. These cards are a fantastic resource whether you are new to the job or an experienced hand.

Music is increasingly recognised as being an activity that can be of enormous benefit to those living with dementia. Take Note will help anyone working with older people to find ways of using music effectively, regardless of their musical training or ability.

The resource is accompanied by a website that illustrates the ideas set out on the cards with videos and musical materials. Take Note is a useful aid for caregivers, music practitioners and therapists working with older people, whether in a care home, a day care centre or in a private home. The cards are also a helpful resource for family members of those with dementia.

Presented on easy-to-access cards, there are 100 different ideas for using music, each one tried and tested by the authors. Cards include ideas for:

  • Encouraging participants to listen to music and join in
  • Using music to help achieve particular effects, such as wellbeing and the relief of anxiety, depression and agitation
