💜 It’s Dementia Action Week!

This year also marks the 10th anniversary of the Rewire “Musical Memories” Choirs! 🎉 We’re honoured to be part of the Rewire family, running Rewire – The Haven Choir in partnership with The Haven Day Centre in Knox.

Rewire grew from university research exploring how music and community singing can support people living with dementia and their carers.

🎶 We meet every Monday morning during the school term, with Term 4 starting 5 October!

Everyone is welcome to sing familiar songs, enjoy music and connect with others. We especially welcome people living with dementia and their carers. 💛

🎵 All abilities, languages and backgrounds are welcome!
Feel free to contact us about the choir or how music therapy can support people living with dementia. 💜

🎶 Come Sing With together – Rewire: The Haven Choir 🎶

Every Monday morning during the school term, Rewire – The Haven Choir at Knox welcomes everyone to come together, sing familiar songs, enjoy music, and connect with others. 💛

The Haven Choir is a dementia-inclusive community choir, welcoming people living with dementia, their carers, family members, and members of the wider community.

The choir is facilitated by a Registered Music Therapist from the Bilingual Music & Therapy team, creating a supportive and inclusive space while being attentive to the therapeutic needs of people living with dementia and their carers.

If you or your loved one is considering joining a friendly community choir, we’d love to welcome you in Term 4, starting Monday, 5 October 2026! 🎵

📩 Feel free to contact us if you have any questions about the choir or how music therapy can support people living with dementia and their carers.

It’s Dementia Action Week and this year’s message is simple: it’s time to talk about dementia.

One conversation worth having is about what life can continue to look like after a diagnosis.

Living with dementia doesn’t mean people stop enjoying music, creativity, friendship or being part of their community. Supporting people to keep doing the things they love can make an enormous difference to everyday life.

That idea sits at the heart of Rewire – The Haven Choir: a welcoming place to sing familiar favourites, learn new songs, connect with others and simply enjoy making music together.

Rewire is dementia-inclusive and open to everyone.

🎶 Cantonese Music Therapy × GIM Experiential Workshop

A big thank you to Templestowe Baptist Church Couples Fellowship for the invitation! 💛

Yesterday, our Clinical Director and Registered Music Therapist, Josephine, together with GIM Therapist Shirley, facilitated a Cantonese music therapy workshop for the fellowship.

During the workshop, we introduced what music therapy is and explored how music and therapeutic interventions can support the physical, emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing of adults and older adults.

Participants also had the opportunity to experience a range of music therapy activities, including:

🎤 Singing and music sharing
💃 Music and movement
🎼 Group music composition
🌿 GIM (Guided Imagery and Music)

It was wonderful to share music therapy in Cantonese and provide an opportunity for participants to experience how music can be more than a source of enjoyment and memories — it can also be a meaningful medium for expression, connection and wellbeing. 🎶

If your church, community group or organisation is interested in a music therapy presentation, workshop or experiential session, please feel free to contact Bilingual Music & Therapy to discuss a program tailored to your group’s needs. 💛

好榮幸今次可以邀請到由香港嚟墨爾本嘅 Sunny Wong，尋晚帶領我哋一班廣東話治療師一齊玩 廣東話治療性歌曲創作！🎶

一班講廣東話嘅 RMT、MTS 同 OT 聚埋一齊，學習、討論同實踐一啲非常 hands-on 嘅廣東話歌曲創作技巧。大家都學到好多，已經急不及待想將呢啲技巧帶返去自己嘅治療 session，應用喺唔同需要嘅服務使用者身上。💛

好多謝 Sunny 同我哋分享你嘅知識同經驗，亦好多謝每一位參加嘅朋友！真係一個好開心、好充實嘅星期六晚上——當然仲包括之後一齊食廣東嘅晚餐啦！😆🥢

Stay tuned！我哋希望之後可以繼續搞多啲 廣東話歌曲創作同專業支援活動，等一班廣東話治療師可以繼續一齊學、一齊交流，用嚟支援墨爾本嘅多元文化社群！🎵

Such a privilege to have Sunny Wong visiting Melbourne from Hong Kong and leading our Cantonese therapeutic songwriting group yesterday! 🎶

A group of Cantonese-speaking RMTs, MTSs and OTs came together to learn, discuss, and practise some really hands-on Cantonese songwriting skills. We’re all feeling inspired and ready to bring these ideas into our therapy sessions to support clients with different needs. 💛

Thank you, Sunny, for sharing your knowledge and experience with us, and thank you to everyone who joined! It was such a wonderful Saturday evening — including, of course, the Cantonese dinner afterwards! 😆🥢

Stay tuned! We’re hoping to organise more Cantonese songwriting and professional support activities soon. 🎵
