BBC World Service - People Fixing The World, The power of music

Innovative ways that music can ease pain and bring people together.

We all know about the power of music to change our mood or to make us move. But an increasing body of evidence is showing that music has an amazing ability to help us heal. In this programme we are going to meet people working at the cutting edge of music therapy.  We find out about the innovative system that uses music to help people with dementia live at home for longer.  We will see how using songs and rhythms is helping people with Parkinson’s move more freely. And in a refugee camp in Uganda we meet the teachers using music to bring people together and overcome trauma.
