Dementia-Friendly Singing Groups in WA

SongFest now run a number of

Dementia-Friendly Singing Groups in WA

These highly successful weekly programs can help improve self-confidence and quality of life for a both a person with dementia and their carer.
Community singing has been shown to play a significant part in supporting the well-being of people living with dementia. It allows people to communicate and express themselves through artistic activities which can be important for many people. 
For poorly understood reasons, many people living with impaired memory have little trouble recalling song tunes and lyrics.  This can enable a genuine shared experience with carers, families and other singers.

Sessions include morning or afternoon tea for a low fee (usually $5.00 per person)
