Get Playlists
Like memories, playlists of favorite music are deeply unique to the individual. What is known about a particular generation, origin location, or genre that is specific to that time of popular music when the patient was young, can have a huge effect in narrowing down the music that an individual particularly loved and to which they will respond to with the most enthusiasm and appreciation to make their personalized music therapy sessions into a success.
If you or someone you know would like to become part of our personalized approach to therapeutic music, please have the individual's name, age, the places and times they have lived, and any information already known about their music preferences, so that they can either benefit from receiving their own iPod at home independently or as offered by a nursing home or assisted-living facility. Requests can be mailed or emailed to: Music & Memory Requests 142 Emory Road Mineola, New York 11501 Contact Dan Cohen at [email protected] |
