What is Singing for the Brain®?
Singing for the Brain® is a stimulating group activity, for people in the early to moderate stages of dementia and their carers, which can help with general well-being and confidence. You’ll meet others with similar experiences in a relaxed setting, and can join in a variety of songs, as much or as little as you like. The groups are run by our friendly staff and volunteers, and are led by a trained Singing for the Brain® leader.
How can the sessions help?
• People with dementia may find that music encourages them to express positive feelings and emotions.
• Well-known songs can evoke memories, and people with dementia who have communication difficulties may find that the music helps to enhance their communication.
• The groups encourage movement through hand percussion and actions along to the music.
• Through coming along to the sessions, people with dementia and carers can strengthen existing relationships, share experiences and find support.
