Tune In: Tap Your Toes and Your Memories at Musical Instrument Museum

Come to the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix for tours and workshops to explore connections between music and memory — including for those facing cognitive impairment.

The free events will be held at the museum, 4725 E. Mayo Blvd. on Wednesdays, June 21 and July 12, from 1 to 3 p.m. (with check-in at 12:30 p.m.). Sign up for the June 21 session at events.aarp.org/PryM3O and for the July 12 one at events.aarp.org/ErygNl.

For adults with memory loss, music can tap into memories and help promote connection and well-being. The museum programs are aimed at people with cognitive impairment, including those with dementia. Each session includes a gallery tour and a music-making workshop led by a music therapist. Care partners are encouraged to attend with participants.
