Sing Out Loud! Workshop for Social Service Professionals

Music has the power to unlock memories, to be a safe place and to offer solace for persons with dementia. Research has shown that music and singing are beneficial to those with dementia, offering a way for them to move beyond the disease and as an important channel of communication when others are challenged.

Sing Out Loud! Workshop (for Social Service Professionals)is a programme under the Esplanade Academy designed to equip and empower staff of Social Service Agencies (SSAs) with the skills and knowledge to run stimulating and engaging singing sessions for persons with dementia. This one-day programme draws from the core principles of Sing Out Loud! , an Esplanade community engagement programme conceptualised in partnership with Dementia Singapore in 2016. It will allow participants to gain:

 

  • An understanding of the person-centered approach in using music as a tool to engage persons with dementia

  • Effective music improvisation techniques

  • The practice of using percussion instruments, visual aids, and resources in their sessions
