Since music is processed and stored in multiple parts of the brain, especially our memory, there is a strong and special connection to the importance of music in each of our lives. In patients with Alzheimer’s disease, studies have linked listening to music with stronger memory recall, proving music therapy to help heal emotional traumas, self-expression, and the feeling of joy.
