This program pairs student volunteers with nursing home residents as a part of a personalized music therapy program. Music and social interactions engage many disparate parts of the brain, and the goal of this program is to help combat age-related cognitive decline and to slow the rate of withdrawal in patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.
