Musical Memories Project

Based in Memphis, TN, USA,  Musical Memories Project™ was officially founded in 2022, inspired by the work of longtime piano teacher Ms. Maria DeBacco, who had been bringing her students to perform familiar music for memory care residents years before the project formally began. Those early visits planted the roots for what later became Musical Memories Project.

Inspired by Ms. Maria’s vision of using familiar songs to awaken memories in individuals with dementia, the Lim family launched Musical Memories Project to bring live music into memory care and senior communities.

Our goals are:

🔹️Bring live music to senior communities
🔹️Use familiar songs to spark joy and meaningful memories for seniors
🔹️Connect talented local musicians with senior communities
🔹️Provide opportunities for local artists to share their musical talents through community service
🔹️Create recitals, collaborations, and creative content that foster human connection through music
