Residential Homes
Purple Bear Music Workshops focus on social interaction, participation, and individual expression through group performance with a range of accessible melodic and percussion instruments. We have a number of activities to suit residents of all abilities, and we will work with you to ensure individual needs are met so the workshop is fully inclusive for all involved.
​
There are benefits of both live music and social interaction for people of all ages, but can take on more importance with advancing years and/or for those with a higher risk of developing dementia. Below are two articles which highlight these benefits in greater detail:

Purple Bear Music Workshops for residential homes can be booked on a weekly, monthly, or one-off basis, and are based on the individual and group needs of the participants. In addition to a range of guided group percussive and melodic activities, individuals will also be able to explore creating their own musical patterns and compositions (particularly over weekly/monthly sessions).
