The SingOut! program provided by Alive & Kickin is an exuberant experience of singing together in a completely non-judgement environment. SingOut! is about the joy of singing. When it concerns memory loss, research suggests that listening to or singing songs can provide emotional and behavioral benefits?Musical memories are often preserved in Alzheimer's because key brain areas linked to musical memory are relatively undamaged by the disease.
