March 18, 2011 - Music Therapy and Alzheimer's Disease

This week my guest is Marlon Sobol, a music therapist in New York who created a CD for caregivers to interact with people who have Alzheimer's. Listen live at 12 noon Eastern, 11 am Central, 10 am Mountain, and 9 am Pacific or click here for the archives. You can also find the show on iTunes.

Marlon created a CD to connect caregivers and their clients called, Keep On Moving: Music for Therapeutic Rhythmic Activities. The purpose of this CD is to provide music for the mutual enjoyment of both caregiver and patient. The music can also be used as a tool by the caregiver to facilitate therapeutic rhythmic activities and movement that will enhance the patient's overall well-being. You can find the music on iTunes by searching for Keep On Moving by Shem's Disciples or calling 718-519-5880 to order the CD.

You can contact Marlon Sobol, MT-BC, LCAT, for more information at msobol@bethabe.org or call 914-287-7212.
