Health, Wellbeing and Care Hub - Music Mirrors: Your Life Story Through Music
This unique service is designed for individuals living with dementia who wish to capture and preserve their life story through music. Our service includes four weekly sessions (1 hour each) at the Hub, supported by one or two healthcare students under the direct supervision of an Occupational Therapist. Together, you’ll reminisce about key life moments and identify songs or sounds that hold significance. These will be collated into your Music Mirror, complete with links to YouTube clips. You’re welcome to bring a loved one for support during the sessions.

Memories are a vital part of who we are. Research shows that music can unlock memories, emotions, and connections—even when words are hard to find. While memory loss can occur naturally with ageing, it can also happen due to illness, accident, or dementia.
Music has the power to evoke feelings and bring back moments that may seem lost. A favourite song, a childhood lullaby, or a tune from a special occasion can unlock memories that feel hidden away. With the right audio cues, these memories often come flooding back.
Who can use this service?
Individuals living with dementia.
