Everything I do now started with the care for my mother with Alzheimer’s. During those care years I intuitively integrated my mother’s music into our daily care. I thought naively that every care giver and every care home made use of the personal favourite music to run care actions easier and give more well-being to people with dementia.
But an interview for a book about Alzheimer’s was my wakeup call and the start of “Ignar’s Dementia Guide”. Until then, I had never thought that our “musical-care” was something special.
I wrote a methodology where everybody can find the right music to work with and integrate this into the daily care. I wanted all carers to have the benefit of the music and I wanted/will that everybody with dementia can find shelter and peace by listening to his or her favourite music.
Now I give presentations, readings and training on how to use music for dementia, Parkinson’s, stroke, revalidation and for mental health and physical conditions.
The request came in for an English website, and because of this I met Dr Theresa Porrett and Roy Lilley of The Academy of Fab Stuff. I am now an ambassador of The Fab Academy and have landing page on the FAB site.
I am involved with developing a smart speaker. With this speaker you can use the music everywhere at home, in a nursing home, in the shower, bedroom, it connects with Bluetooth headphone, can be filled by stick or internet and very important it’s a standalone device and needs only power as then it’s wireless.
