Loss of the 'Self' as a Social and Ethical Challenge. Findings from the London 'Music for Life' Project
Keywords:
music– people living with dementia – identity –communication–participation–development–community of practice
Abstract
The following considerations describe the findings of a qualitative research project that accompanied a course of the Wigmore Hall Initiative Music for Life in a long-term study on music and dementia. The project succeeds in reconstructing a learning process that affects both musicians and caregivers and is able-at least selectively-to integrate people living with dementia. A learning process which captures the inter-professional team-creating "moments" that people with dementia also experience as highlights-could be observed in the successive experience levels ofestablishing' identity', deepening 'communication', doing 'participation'and opening the chance for 'development' within an astonishing "Community of Practice".
