There is no cure for dementia. But science is proving that one instrument can slow down its cognitive decline - the human voice.
Inspired by the power of music on the brain, Jason Lai - Principal Conductor of the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory - forms a choir with 9 individuals living with dementia and their loved ones.
But it’s not all fun and games. They have three months to prepare for a Christmas Concert along Singapore’s busiest shopping street.
Under the tutelage of A Capella and vocal trainer Angelina Choo, this unlikely choir undergoes weekly rehearsals and a series of assessments to find out whether choral singing can slow down the cognitive decline of dementia.
