World Music Day at Cumberland View Aged Care

The residents at Cumberland View Aged Care enjoy all kinds of music so World Music Day is the perfect opportunity to celebrate what music means to us and the role it plays in the wellbeing of our residents.

Music is part of our everyday activities whether it be live musicians, live zoom concerts or listening to music played in our lounge area and residents look forward to attending weekly concerts performed by regular artists, Steph Renouf, Jack the music man, Laurel McKenna, and Mel Manuel.

A variety of activities incorporating music are on offer to residents and include ‘beat it movement and music’ sessions, seated Tai Chi accompanied by slow paced, relaxing music, or YouTube concerts in the lounge where various artists are showcased.

Not only do residents enjoy the regular musical entertainment, but there is also a wealth of musical talent among the residents themselves. They are encouraged to share their love of music with others, as well as to play for their own enjoyment.

Ken and Joan are two of the talented residents at Cumberland View who have shared what music means to them.
