🎶 媽媽聲合唱團｜唔識唱歌都可以一齊學、一齊進步！ 💕

除咗唱一啲大家熟悉嘅歌曲，包括廣東話流行曲之外，其實我哋有時都會一齊練習吓基本嘅唱歌技巧㗎！🎤

今個學期嘅《媽媽聲合唱團》，我哋開始學習睇譜，包括用簡譜唱歌、基本和聲，仲有點樣運用呼吸去唱歌。🎼

💗 參加媽媽聲合唱團，完全唔需要任何音樂底子，唔識睇譜、冇學過唱歌都絕對冇問題！

因為我哋最重視嘅，始終係一班媽媽可以喺忙碌嘅生活中，留返少少時間俾自己，開開心心唱歌，透過音樂互相交流、建立連繫。🥰

不過，如果你除咗想享受唱歌嘅樂趣，仲希望喺音樂技巧上有少少進步，我哋都可以一齊學、一齊試、一齊努力㗎！

🎵 唔需要唱得叻先可以參加，最緊要係你鍾意唱！

歡迎各位廣東話媽媽加入我哋，一齊用廣東話唱出屬於自己嘅聲音！❤️

🎶 Mamas’ Choir｜You Don’t Need to Know How to Sing to Grow Together! 💕

Besides singing familiar songs together, including Cantonese pop songs, we also spend time learning some basic singing techniques! 🎤

This term at Mamas’ Choir, we’ve started learning how to read music, including singing with numbered musical notation, basic harmonies, and how to use our breathing when singing. 🎼

💗 You don’t need any musical background or the ability to read music to join Mamas’ Choir!

What matters most to us is that a group of mums can set aside a little time for themselves amid their busy lives, enjoy the joy of singing, and connect and share with one another through music.

However, if you’d like to have fun singing while also making a little progress with your musical skills, we can learn, try, and grow together! 🥰

🎶 You don’t have to be a great singer to join—if you love singing, you’re welcome!

喺忙碌嘅生活、家庭同照顧孩子嘅日常之中，留返一啲時間俾自己。

透過熟悉嘅廣東話歌曲，讓一班媽媽喺歌聲同音樂之中交流、連結、分享，一齊享受唱歌帶嚟嘅快樂！❤️

我們的 Clinical Director Josephine 最近於《Sameway》網上中文雜誌撰文，分享社區合唱團如何支援認知障礙症人士及其照顧者，並探討合唱活動如何回應他們在認知、情緒及社交方面的需要。🎶💛

社區合唱不單只是一起唱歌，更能為參加者提供與人連結、投入有意義活動、分享共同經歷，以及建立歸屬感的機會。

如果你的家人或親友有興趣參加社區合唱團，歡迎與我們聯絡，或直接聯絡 Rewire Musical Memories Choir 查詢詳情。🎵

Our Clinical Director, Josephine, recently contributed an article to Sameway Online Chinese Magazine, introducing how community choirs can support people living with dementia and their carers, particularly in meeting their cognitive, emotional and social needs. 🎶💛

Community singing is about more than making music — it can provide opportunities for connection, meaningful engagement, shared experiences and a sense of belonging.

If your family member or loved one is interested in joining a community choir, please feel free to contact us or the Rewire Musical Memories Choir directly for more information. 🎵

筆者剛剛參加了一個由非牟利機構 Rewire 主辦的社區合唱團十周年慶祝活動。

You don’t need to be living with dementia to join Rewire – The Haven Choir.

Rewire is dementia-inclusive, but it is a community choir open to everyone who enjoys music.

That mix is part of what makes it special. People come together to sing, laugh, learn new songs, revisit old favourites and enjoy being part of a welcoming group.

There are no auditions, no musical experience is required, and the choir is led by registered music therapists.

If you’ve been thinking about joining us, Term 4 is a great time to give it a try.

💜 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. 💛
