How can music benefit those with dementia?

This week is Dementia Action Week, which aims to raise awareness of the importance of an early diagnosis for people affected by dementia. 1 in 3 people born in the UK today will develop the condition in their lifetime, and whilst there’s not yet a cure, there are many things that can help – including music. Reporter and musician Alex Osbourne meets those living with dementia, to find out how music can boost self-esteem and positive feelings.
