Musical Instruments for Care Homes, and the Elderly

The fun of playing musical instruments is reasonably obvious. The key is how you make your music session sound nice as opposed to disorganised cacophony of sounds. Make sure you have some conducting the music session and try and have an aim e.g. to play a well-known song. It can help to have some kind of backing music from a CD to help keep everyone in time.

Musical Instruments Designed for Dementia & Alzheimer's Patients

For the Elderly

Musical instruments are not just for the young but also the older generation. When engaging older adults, often they may feel isolated or bored; music becomes a bridge. This section will help you explore various musical instruments specially designed and adapted for the elderly. They offer a fun and engaging way to stimulate the mind, improve hand-eye coordination, and bring joy.

For Care Homes

In care homes, music is a form of therapeutic recreation. We provide accessible, safe, and intuitive musical instruments suitable for group activities or individual practice. From percussion instruments to keyboards with larger keys, these instruments promote a sense of accomplishment, mental interaction, and foster a community spirit with their therapeutic sound.

For the Visually Impaired

Music is a world that the visually impaired can feel, touch, and hear. We provide a range of instruments that focus on tactile feedback, larger markings and ease of use. Braille-adapted keyboards, guitars with sensory note markers, or easier to hold percussive instruments can help the visually impaired experience music with confidence and joy.

For Dementia Patients

To engage and stimulate people living with dementia, our musical instrument selection aims to provoke memories, trigger positive responses and provide an outlet for the expression of emotions. Simple and intuitive instruments like hand drums, xylophones, and maracas are perfect for creating a soothing and enjoyable atmosphere.

For Alzheimer's Patients

For individuals struggling with Alzheimer’s, music can be a powerful tool in unlocking memories and emotions. Our selected musical instruments are easy to use and promote a comforting and familiar sense of rhythm and melody. The instruments such as tambourines, songbells, or user-friendly keyboards are designed to provide a satisfying and engaging musical journey.
