SUMMARY:UMFC Alchemy Chorus
DESCRIPTION:Upper Murray Family Care (UMFC) have established an inclusive chorus/choir for those living with dementia and their carer.  The UMFC Alchemy Chorus aims to provide a welcoming\, safe and inclusive environment where those living with dementia and their carer\, can enjoy a social activity together. Research shows music and singing can have positive and therapeutic benefits for those living with dementia.  Creating opportunities for carers to connect with other carers and engage with their local community\, improves carer wellbeing. \nThe UMFC Alchemy Chorus meet each Tuesday morning during Victorian School Terms\, from 10am to 12 noon at Wodonga Bulldogs Football and Netball Club.  This is a performing chorus\, with a conductor/lead and a pianist guiding chorus members through a playlist of familiar songs from the 1940’s through to the 1970’s.  We pause halfway through the morning to share morning tea and connect with fellow chorus members. There are no auditions or singing ability required\, just a love of music and singing.  Chorus members are not locked in to attend every week. We do require those living with dementia to be accompanied by their carer and the cost is $5 each or $10 a couple. Volunteers support our chorus participants with singing\, providing companionship and with the preparation and serving of morning tea.
