Music in Mind: Music Therapy for People with Dementia and their Carers

Manchester Camerata is offering you 10 sessions in a music therapy group, free of charge. Manchester Camerata is an orchestra and two of the orchestra’s musicians will be helping with the group.

This will be a chance to make music, but you don’t have to think of yourself as a musician to take part! It will also give you the opportunity to meet other people.

The sessions will last no more than one hour and may involve singing and playing simple instruments. What we do will depend on what you want to do on the day.
Dates:
Central Manchester: Wednesday 07 March until Wednesday 30 May (not on 28 Mar, 11 Apr, 23 May)
North Manchester: Wednesday 04 April until Wednesday 27 June (not on 11 April, 23 May, 6 June)
