The Joy of Musical Therapy

At Harrier Grange, we believe in the transformative power of music to uplift spirits, foster connections and enhance the wellbeing of our residents. Our commitment to musical therapy is evident through the variety of musical events and performances we host regularly, bringing joy and comfort to our community.

Enchanting Performances & Diverse Instruments

Our residents are frequently treated to live performances by talented entertainers who captivate us with classic songs. These performances feature a range of musical instruments, including bells, ukuleles, cellos and tambourines, creating a rich and varied musical experience. The harmonious sounds fill our halls, resonating with the memories and emotions of our cherished residents.

Daily Melodies from Our Resident Piano Man

A highlight of our musical offerings is the daily serenade from our resident Piano Man, who delights the top floor with his near-daily performances. His skilful playing brings a sense of tranquility and nostalgia, making each day a little brighter for those who listen.

Weekly Musical Delights

To ensure that our residents continually benefit from musical engagement, we aim to provide musical talent or entertainment on a weekly basis. Whether through live performances or hosting record parties, our goal is to keep the spirit of music alive within our community. These events not only entertain but also provide therapeutic benefits, helping residents to interact, communicate and feel a sense of belonging.

The Benefits of Group Music Therapy

Group music therapy sessions are a cornerstone of our approach to enhancing resident wellbeing. These sessions offer seniors the opportunity to engage with each other in a supportive, inclusive environment. By reducing feelings of loneliness and promoting social interaction, music therapy helps create a vibrant community where residents feel connected and valued.

Celebrating Our Successful Summer Fete

We are thrilled to share the success of our recent Summer Fete, a joyous event that brought together residents, families and staff. The fete featured lively music, delicious food and fun activities, all contributing to a memorable day. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported and donated to the event. Your generosity and participation made it a resounding success and we look forward to more such celebrations in the future.
