Music Making A Real Difference

Who said that music making was only for young people?

Residents in Plymouth have been enjoying making music this year with a little help from Plymouth Music Zone.

Silver Sounds, funded by the Community Grants Scheme and Plymouth Music Zone, is a project that has seen interactive music making sessions held in the two sheltered schemes in Plymouth.

The project has been really well received by the residents and it uses music, singing and social activities to stimulate memory and increase interaction between participants. One of the residents even commented that it is the highlight of her week.    

The residents are aiming high, and will be enjoying a trip to the Music Zone together to see some other performers that the Music Zone works with and support. They have even been treated to a visit by musicians from the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.

And you never know, maybe the Military Wives will have some competition for the Christmas Number one spot this year!!!
