Overview
Slowing down the ageing of the brain
When we get older, our body changes in noticeable ways, like our hair turning grey. And just like our muscles and joints, our brain cells can stiffen up too. Cognitive Decline happens to all of us, but to what extent, depends on each individual.
Today over 600 million people live with cognitive decline. The most extreme form is Dementia, which now affects 55 million people around the globe. In fact, it is now a leading cause of death for women in Australia.
Research proves musical activity is one of the most powerful ways to ward off the effects of cognitive decline. All parts of the brain responsible for emotion, memory, language and more, have to work together to make sense of what we're hearing.
