Having the opportunity to conduct music therapy with Apex harmony residents with AD became less daunting as I became more familiar with it. However, I learned to consider many nuances before each session in order to have successful sessions. Something I had not considered was being deliberate and sensitive about any questions that we may ask. Adjusting to the personality of the resident, and learning to be a bit more cautious before asking about loved ones and family members was something that I had never considered. This experience definitely heightened my awareness of the cultural and societal context and brought a new sensitivity and empathy in my communication with the seniors. This will prove to be an invaluable skill; seeking to pause and reflect on what may be the resident’s background, and consequently, what matters should be dealt with carefully, or avoided altogether.
