Singing as connection & memory

Why is it that children’s songs are so deeply etched in our memory? And why is making music good for the brain? It’s not just facts, but emotions too that linger longer with music. Professor Mathieu Vandenbulcke provides the full academic explanation. Anyone who has ever sung in a choir knows that special feeling of togetherness when singing in a group. Conductor Elke Poppe puts theory into practice in her inclusive choir for people with dementia, their carers and volunteers.
