Bring on the music
Simple Music Player
Simply lift the lid to play music
Familiar, much-loved music can offer profound benefits for the elderly and those living with dementia. The UK-designed Simple Music Player offers exceptional build and sound quality – and it’s so simple to use!
It is upsetting to see a person with dementia looking bored or feeling isolated due to inactivity. Music is a wonderful way to assist them in becoming connected and engaged with the things happening around them.
The Simple Music Player was designed specifically for those living with dementia. It is extremely easy to use even when a lack of dexterity is an issue. The music begins to play when the lid is lifted and to skip to the next track there is one large button to press. The volume is set by family members or carers and cannot, accidentally, be changed. The songs are selected and downloaded via a USB link from a Windows, Apple or Linux PC, ensuring that the music your loved one most enjoys is what is playing.
Capacity of 4GB - Or nearly 1000 songs!

Comforting and engaging, ‘Arthur’, combines the profound benefits of targetted music with sensory and tactile feedback, with the engagement of something to be cherished and cared for.
Arthur’ is a combination of our experiences of the benefits of music for people with cognizant challenges, such as dementia, learning difficulties and autism, combined with widely accepted advantages offered by ‘doll therapy’. The care and interaction with a comforting soft toy provides a path to unlocking strong maternal instincts or feelings of security, providing both activity and self worth, whilst the music increases awareness and interaction.
Doll therapy: A large section of the community with cognizant challenges lack daily engagement. Some caregivers try to ease the burden of distress and anxiety by introducing dolls or soft toys to love and care for. The dolls can become an integral part of their life and caring for the doll can range from simple enagement to a major part of their day to day responsibilities. Doll or ‘cuddle’ therapy, may bring back happy memories of early parenthood and helps feeling useful and needed.
Music: Playing music to people with dementia or similar challenges from their formative years vastly improves their cognizance and lucidity – the effects are dramatic and are widely recognised.
