Music activities for the Elderly and Disabled:
Torquay, Torbay Devon.

With music there are so many therapeutic benefits that we don't immediately notice.

We all succumb to the 'Sound of Music' as it were and music can give us so much. Relaxation, Dynamics, Sadness, Joy even anger can be enhanced by listening or playing certain pieces.

What we like to offer is the thrill of being involved as well as just being the audience.
We can get residents/ individuals involved by Singing along to well known tunes, or even tapping a tambourine along to the beat.

We also like to take the music making further still and actually make some of the percussion instruments before we do a performance.

Many people enjoy the complete package which gives them something to build up to.

With music, it can stimulate many senses not just Vocally but also Aurally, sometimes the hard of hearing can pick up deeper notes and get a sense of the rhythm. The completely Deaf can actually feel the sounds of deeper notes also enabling them to pick up rhythm's.

We try to involve as many people as possible in our music sessions and even try to tie it in with light exercise for those taking part.
