StrumTree Aged Care Music Program
Bringing Music and Joy to Canberra’s Aged Care Residents Since 2024
Loneliness is a huge problem faced by older Australians in senior living communities.
The ARIIA concluded that 1 in 3 Australians living in residential aged care are socially isolated.[ARIIA]
The solution?
At StrumTree, we have consistently found that providing meaningful music activites to aged care residents has brought lasting joy and connection to communities, as well as creating an uplifting environment for both residents and aged care staff workers.
What does it look like?
Picture a room filled with ecstatic residents, belting out their favourite sing-along songs, while tapping their feet and re-living the music of their youth. That’s what StrumTree is.
Every week in Canberra we provide interactive 60-minute music activities of well-known easy-to-sing repertoire, and large print lyric booklets so that everyone can join in and feel part of the community.
Our Aged Care Music Program is more than a regular performance: it is a community project, connecting aged care residents to meaningful music provided by the Canberra community.
What do the residents say?
We often hear about how our music activities can be the highlight of someone’s week!
We are told that after an activity, residents continue to sing and hum songs cheerfully for the rest of the day.
“We would like to thank StrumTree for the wonderful Christmas concert this morning. The feedback from our residents has all been positive, and they thoroughly enjoyed the music and singing.” – Fred Ward Gardens, RSL LifeCare.
