The Power of Music for Resident’s in Aged Care

Australians who were born during the 1920s, ’30s, ’40s and early ’50s, had classical music as the soundtrack to some of their life’s greatest moments. Bringing this music back into their lives on a regular basis can have some amazingly positive benefits.
