You don’t have to be a musician to play beautiful harmonies with this quality wooden box that looks normal on the outside, but is oh-so-impressive on the inside!
After inserting the plastic pieces into the slots in the box and placing the cylinders in the order of the chosen score, your residents will be ready to play familiar melodies, such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or “head, shoulders, knees and toes”. For your less autonomous residents with cognitive difficulties, don’t hesitate to accompany them in a free exploration, guided by their instinct and the pleasure of discovery. The most beautiful melodies are often those that emerge spontaneously and have a story to tell!
Your residents can take advantage of this accessible and versatile instrument, whether for a moment of relaxation, or to stimulate their cognitive abilities, concentration or creativity. In fact, music therapy is renowned for its invaluable contribution to the well-being and self-awareness of the seniors. Harmonies can help break down social barriers, create moments of joy, recall sweet memories or simply communicate more easily.
For residents who don’t have the instrument in hand, this is the perfect time to encourage them to move to the notes of the Melody Box or hum the melodies they recognize! It’s a great opportunity to initiate movement, as you’re sure to see hands and feet tapping in rhythm, but also to observe an atmosphere of togetherness and complicity invading the room!
Let the music guide you and your seniors towards moments of gentleness and serenity with the Melody Box!
