Music has been called the “Language of Love” as well as the “International Language”. In addition to that, music has been proven over time to have remarkable healing qualities, particularly for older people and for people living with dementia. Our special guest this week is Sally Cooper. Sally is a qualified Music Therapy practitioner with a Masters in Musical Therapy along with other related qualifications. Sally has been working for some time with our older folk around a number of Brisbane’s Aged Care Facilities, and firmly believes that music has a powerful effect on the people she works with, helping them to recall times, places and people that would have seemed to have been all but forgotten. Additionally, Sally is a professional musician and entertainer and has enjoyed success as a performer both in Australia and overseas. We’ll even be playing some of Sally’s original song, “Love Will Rise” during the podcast. We have an update on Queensland Seniors Week, exciting news about our new Radio COTA Feedb
