One to one

For residents who are bed bound or unable to join group activities, I offer gentle 1-to-1 bedside singing sessions designed to bring comfort, connection and joy.

These personal sessions are carefully tailored to each individual, using familiar songs that may spark memories, encourage calmness, or simply provide a soothing presence. Whether it’s a favourite wartime tune, a hymn, a musical theatre song or a much-loved classic, the music is chosen to suit the resident’s preferences and needs.

Bedside singing can help reduce anxiety, lift mood, support emotional wellbeing and create a meaningful human connection — even for those who are non-verbal or living with advanced dementia. Sessions are delivered with sensitivity, respect and at a pace that feels comfortable for the resident.

Sometimes it’s not about singing along — it’s about being heard, feeling valued, and sharing a peaceful moment through music.
