I have had dementia for about 5 years now. I listen to music all the time.
I played drums semi-proffessionaly for 15 years in the 1971/80s
I find that is a way of passing the time and gives me a lot of pleasure.
There is a lot of music on Youtube, which is free to listen to.

@clam Thank you so much for your post. I woke up this morning to three joyful posts from Mayo Connect - caregivers with good news, yours one of them. So, thank you for your share. I too find music uplifting, good for the soul. The fact that you were a drummer semi-professionally, how cool is that. My uncle was a drummer too. My adult son, I remember in his younger days: a wannabe drummer. Thanks for the lead on Utube, I've been pulling up some of my favorite songs. I remember seeing that "alive inside" documentary of what music did for the residents in that nursing home (another valuable share from Mayo Connect) and it was truly amazing. Best, Karla

Can you play Wipe Out?

@clam Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! You played the drums! Where did you practice? I always remember how kids would talk of practicing in the garage but . . . .
Is there something that we can help you with? An issue with your dementia? Do you live by yourself or do you have a caretaker?
