ABSTRACT
‘Music gives me life!’ These are the words of Mr B, a victim of Alzheimer's disease, just prior to his entering a nursing home. Mr B and his wife attended a music therapy group in Palo Alto, California before the burden of caring for his daily needs resulted in placement in residential care. Mr B's story is one of many who have appreciated the meaning of music in a life otherwise fraught with confusion, anger, sadness and loss.
