There is increasing demand for our services, but we cannot expand into more facilities without more volunteers. we need musicians and also general helpers, who do not have to be able to sing or play an instrument. Groups are weekly and last an hour. If you can sing or play the kind of instrument that best accompanies singing, and know a range of old songs, your role is to encourage participants to sing along with you - some of our group facilitators play piano, others play guitar, ukelele or another instrument. You don't have to be a concert musician - it's more like a party sing-along! Your helper will help residents get up and dance or play the percussion instruments we provide (shakers etc). Volunteers receive training and work in consultation with a Registered Music Therapist. If you are interested, Phone Margaret 022 6517166. Information about MMMT and its work is available on our website, Facebook page and the newsletter attached to this message.
