Resources
Take Note
A multimedia resource offering 100 ideas for musical activities that carers can use to enrich the lives of older people and those living with dementia. The ideas are drawn from research and presented as strategies that can be used in everyday life by both non-music specialists and music practitioners.
The co-developer of Take Note, Professor Adam Ockelford, has been part of Moving Music for many years, accompanying his pupil/mentee the brilliant pianist Derek Paravicini to perform for us once a year.Included in the resources on the Take Note website are short films of familiar pieces performed by Hannah Davey and Derek Paravicini: https://www.takenote.org.uk/pieces
