Dementia – Residential Settings
‘It feels like you bring along a lovely present every week – I just help them unwrap it’ – Activities Co-ordinator
We offer bespoke creative sound- and music-making for engagement sessions in several residential settings for people living with dementia throughout Brighton and Hove.
We:
– bring two highly-experienced musician facilitators, trained in offering dementia-friendly music-making
– sing familiar repertoire together
– explore inclusive, accessible instruments together
– liaise closely with staff to ensure the best possible interactions
– do one-to-one work with individuals, using music as a relational communication tool
– include gentle movement and body work in our sessions
– use music-making as a way to encourage individuals to share their experiences with each other as a group, and encourage a culture of play.
