The TTAP Method ™ highlights the concept that music can often stimulate memories in long-term storage where verbal conversation can fail. This seems to be behind her desire to mix art forms into the clearly delineated 9 steps of this methodology. This book, in its examination of the beneficial effects of creative therapy with elderly people and especially with those suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, adds to the growing body of knowledge that the arts connect the body and mind at any age. –Andrew Knights, Professor Trinity College of Music, London.
