Students of the Kassel Music Academy run a 9 month course (singing / movement) for persons with dementia and their carers.

Some conclusions from the Kassel Project

Artists

• are highly interested to venture into the field of

dementia;

• however, especially those who are very experienced,

prefer to find their individual way on how to run the project instead of taking part in formal reminiscence training;

• seem to include reminiscence aspects „naturally“ in

their work, thereby developing their own new approaches;

• can, by setting up a public performance, attract

considerable awareness of dementia within the community and at the same time revise their own perception of persons with dementa.
