A group of students in Drogheda are hoping an initiative which uses music to rekindle past memories in people with dementia will be rolled out across the country. |

Studies have shown that music makes people who are living with dementia happier, and decreases agitation.

The MP3 Players and headphones were then gifted to the older people, ensuring each memory has a soundtrack of its own.— RTÉ News May 30, 2019 At Boyne View Nursing Home, residents have welcomed the students with open arms."They just brighten up their day, it's very natural. They tell them about their favourite type of music. They set up the MP3 players for them and they love them, it's brought more to their lives.""They always relate to music.
