In association with Valuing Older People and Alzheimer’s Society, and supported by Rayne Foundation, Manchester Camerata will be delivering music therapy sessions to people with Dementia and their carers from northern and central Manchester. |

Manchester Camerata musicians are undertaking a 6 week long specialist training from Music Therapist Dr John Habron. The training is intended to equip them with the specific skills required to deliver music therapy sessions. Working with people with dementia and their carers in central and Northern Manchester communities for 10 weeks, musicians will deliver music-therapy based sessions. |

| Dr John Habron from Coventry University will also be writing up this project as a research piece with his colleague Jana Jesuthasan. |
