What our Clients Say

I have witnessed him ‘Awakening’ Residents who had not spoken for years with a simple song performed on a one to one" basis. He uses his performing background and innate non-verbal skills to engage Residents in a way that they enjoy responding to.

What our Clients Say

I have witnessed many of John’s “One to One sessions” with nursing residents (including those on palliative and end of life care) many with difficulty communicating suddenly start to join in with his songs. It’s amazing!

Melodies for Memories

Watch our videos of singing with an element of theatricals to bring residents living with dementia and carers together in a friendly and stimulating social environment.

Singing is not only an enjoyable activity, it offers a "window of opportunity" for people with dementia to express themselves in a fun and supportive way.

Melodies for "Live" Fun

"Live" video performances (via Zoom) are fun and include activities that trigger the well-known and preserved memories of songs in the brain. Even when many memories are hard to retrieve, music is especially easy to recall.
