Winthrop Professor Jane Davidson, Callaway and Tunley Chair of the School of Music at UWA, explores the use of music for health, and its impact on the well-being of participants coming to musical performance activities for the first time in later life.
The participants include those experiencing typical ageing and cases where the older person is living with dementia. Over the past seven years, Davidson has supported and developed opportunities for more than 200 seniors to become involved in singing groups. She will share their music with the audience and discuss the longitudinal outcomes of the research.
