Singing together

Singing together with people with Dementia, Parkinson's, or Alzheimer's.

As a Drama Teacher, I empower children through play. As a Healthcare Singer, I empower people with a vulnerable brain by singing together.

Singing together provides relaxation, allowing everything to flow. Memories surface, emotions are released, and speech and motor skills are activated. In between singing, we discuss the rediscovered lyrics and the emotions evoked by the music.

I take people on a musical journey with their favorite songs in a calm and safe manner. I invite them to let their voices be heard. Family and loved ones are welcome to join. Singing can create a deeper connection.

Group Sessions

I encourage all participants as much as possible and with personal attention to sing along. During the singing together, mutual connection grows. We start calmly and build up the tempo and dynamics together. Sometimes we also dance for a moment.

Why sing together?

Effects of Singing:

  • Breathing
  • Physical activity
  • Emotional expression
  • Focus and flow
  • Social interaction
  • Emotional regulation (emotional expression and grief processing)
  • Body awareness
  • Stress reduction

Singing together offers a holistic approach to well-being and vitality, with direct benefits for both mental and physical health:

  • Strengthens brain activity
  • Improved Mood
  • Refreshing memories
  • Social connection
  • Emotional release
  • Physical vitality
  • Increases self-confidence
  • Rising in the brain (from impulsive, emotional, thoughtless reactions to perceptions to intentional, thoughtful behavior)

Experiences (depression, grief, accident, or trauma) can cause you to temporarily 'descend' in the brain / Music and (collective) singing can help you rise in the brain
