On January 1st, Music & Memory will officially become part of the Institute for Music and Neurologic Function (IMNF). This merger is more than a partnership—it represents our evolution into an organization that not only supports personalized music for dementia care but also brings you a broader array of groundbreaking services from one of the leading voices in music therapy.
For over 40 years, the IMNF has pioneered clinical music therapy, training, and research. Now, by joining their family, Music & Memory can expand its reach and impact within a holistic approach to healing through music. Here’s a look at some of the remarkable services and programs we’re now part of:
- Clinical Music Therapy Services: Pioneering individualized treatments that enhance physical, emotional, and neurological well-being.
- Group Wellness Programs: Community offerings, including music therapy programs for Parkinson’s, PTSD, and aphasia, at the IMNF’s home base, the Wartburg Senior Campus, in Mount Vernon, NY.
- Advanced Training in Music Therapy: For professionals looking to deepen their skills in clinical music practice, with a focus on evidence-based approaches.
- Music Has Power® Training: Designed for all kinds of practitioners, this program equips caregivers, artists, and healthcare workers with tools to harness music’s therapeutic power.

By bringing Music & Memory into the IMNF family, we’re not only reinforcing our commitment to using music as a pathway to health, dignity, and quality of life for people of all ages and abilities, but we’re also strengthening our foundation. With IMNF’s clinical expertise and resources, Music & Memory will have the support needed to carry our work even further, reaching more people than ever before. This evolution is made possible because of your steadfast support, and we’re so excited to move forward together, building on our shared mission with renewed strength and purpose.
