That's great to read, our choir-mistress leads a dementia choir in Burnley, both carers and carees enjoy it & even those who have lost the art of conversing often are able to sing along

It's amazing how people with dementia can sing along but cannot have a conversation, must be very therapeutic for both carer and caree.
