I'm Dr. Emily Silverman and you're listening to Remo. Today we're speaking with Kaylee Glenn. Kaylee is the founder and president of the Day by Day Project, a nonprofit dedicated to transforming dementia care through the power of music. Inspired at the age of ten when she first played violin in a memory care facility. Cayley launched the organization, originally called the Dementia Project, as a teenager. With a background in neuroscience, she has developed programs like the memory disco, which bring joy, connection, and improved quality of life to individuals living with dementia. Through her leadership, the Day by Day project has engaged communities, trained volunteers, and reimagined music as a tool for care, earning national recognition for its innovative approach.
How did Kaylee’s early violin experience in a memory‑care facility spark her passion for music therapy?
Kaylee, thank you so much for coming onto Remo. Thank you for having me, I really appreciate it. So Kaylee, tell us about your love of music. When and how did that begin and what role has music played in your own life since you were young?
Music for me has been a huge part of my life. So I like to say, and my parents like to say that I fell in love with music when I was five years old. It started when I went to a teddy bear concert. And a teddy pear concert was something that young people went to, they had tea, they danced around. And there was an orchestra playing um at this concert, and my parents said that I sat right in front of the first violinist and just watched him the whole time. Afterwards he let me hold his violin and when I was five years old I started taking lessons and really falling in love with the instrument and violin from that point on became a huge part of my life. I fell in love with the instrument as like a personal practice and something for me.
But for the life of me I could not play in front of other people. I had crippling stage fright. And that's kind of where I started playing violin and memory care centers to kind of practice that stage fright.
So how did you get that idea? Maybe I'll practice in this super low stakes environment where I'm just bringing some joy to people and they don't care if I'm, you know, practicing the perfect uh violin stroke or something like that.
