The global increase in life expectancy over recent decades has resulted in a rise dementia cases, with Alzheimer's disease comprising 60 to 70% of cases. Consequently, it is necessary and urgent for this public to have access to health promotion not only through medical and pharmacological care, which are indispensable in the treatment, but which should not be the only alternative to improve quality of life. In light of this, the MoviMente Program emerged. The present research aimed to create and implement a Health Promotion Program through the practice of physical activity for individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer's, and evaluate the influence of this program on the quality of life and functional physical fitness of the participants. The research is ongoing, but a significant challenge has emerged, revealing the difficulty of including individuals with advanced-stage diagnoses in this program. Seeking a way to carry out a program that is inclusive and covers all stages, the researcher came into contact with a Spanish project, known worldwide, called: “Música para Despertar” (Music to Wake Up), which uses music to improve the quality of life of people with Alzheimer’s in an advanced stage. Therefore, this article aims to present: the “Music to Wake Up” project, its benefits in Alzheimer's and the researcher's approach to the project and the possibility of implementing it in Brazil, together with the MoviMente Program. As musical memory and the ability to feel emotions are among the last attributes lost in the brain of a person with Alzheimer's, through music it is possible to work cognitive aspects, such as attention, memory, language and executive function. This is achieved through the reminiscence of favorite songs that marked the history of life, memories and associated emotions, favoring a cognitive stimulation that allows the slowing down of the progression of dementia or neuropsychiatric symptoms, representing an valuable strategy the association of the “Music to Wake Up” project with the MoviMente Program, which will make it possible to carry out a program that can include individuals with Alzheimer's from early to the advanced stages.
