Sketches of Broken Minds

From a musician's unique perspective, Sketches of Broken Minds explores the effects of music on people who have succumbed to the debilitating effects of dementia.

As more and more people are diagnosed, and still no cure, the emphasis for those with this condition is living well. Through intriguing case studies from her experience working with people living with dementia, Nia Davies Williams examines the fascinating ways music can combat some of dementia's problems, and how it can often be used to help find the person behind the condition.
