About the author
Greg Woods Director of Music and Therapy, Therapeia (Cornwall) cic Greg trained at the Royal Military School of Music in 1976 and has spent much of his life living in the music bubble. In 2008 he started to use his musical skills as a therapist, and quickly found that his music could unlock memories for people with dementia. It soon became apparent that his techniques could also help people with aphasia. Greg believes that until a cure for dementia is found, we all must do what we can to ease the burden placed on care givers, and of course, people with dementia.
