Online via Zoom

A friendly online singing group for people wishing to connect through the creative activity of singing. This group welcomes people who may feel isolated, lacking in connection or mental stimulation, or who experience memory loss,  who need a morale boost …. or who simply love to sing. We offer a combination of uplifting songs, both old favourites and new, such as Beatles, Abba, Sound of Music, folk songs, familiar war-time songs etc and modern songs that we will teach. This is a dementia-friendly group, and carers are also welcome.

With Delia Rosenboom, Natural Voice practitioner and Andreas Rosenboom, Music Therapist.

There is no cost for this group. To participate, please register  for your place, with Richmond Music Trust using this link:

Our custom-made song booklet with words to songs will be sent to you once you have registered.

Fridays 10.30-11.30am

Various locations around Stroud, Gloucestershire

I lead singing walks at a variety of locations around Stroud.  Each walk will be approx 3.5 miles, with breaks to learn and sing simple songs – rounds or 2-3 part harmony.  Songs will have an environmental and/or seasonal connection.

The walks are usually for around 3 hours on Sunday afternoons. Please contact me for dates.

The terrain will include hills and uneven ground, so appropriate footwear is essential.

Intermittently on Sundays, for about 3 hours between 12-5 pm.

Marchmont St. Giles, 3 Kilgraston Rd, Edinburgh EH9 2DW

This group has started singing together in person again, so do get in touch if you’d like to come along. During the pandemic, I made weekly 45 minute singing videos for this group that are available for anyone to watch, learn and sing along with here: https://singlouderthanguns.com/health-and-music/. There are now 90 videos!

We sing for fun and enjoyment as well as to exercise the vocal folds, respiratory and facial muscles. Our singing builds friendships and laughter is guaranteed! Sessions include rounds, part harmonies, traditional songs, jazz numbers, ballads and songs from around the globe. No prior singing experience is required and you don’t have to read music – songs are taught by ear. We generally sing without accompaniment but occasionally our song leaders may add a little of their choosing.

Singing4Fun is not just for people with Parkinson’s – anyone who wants to sing is welcome. Nor do you have to commit to coming every week, drop-in when you can. There is a small charge for each session.

Tuesday afternoons from 2-4pm

HAHAV, Plas Antaron, Southgate, Aberystwyth, SY231SA

Skylark Singers is a free choir for anyone in North Ceredigion who suffers from shortness of breath. This may be due to a lung condition, such as COPD, bronchiectasis, chronic asthma, long Covid, or may be due to a cardiac condition, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, anxiety, post-Covid breathlessness, or any other reason.

The sessions begin with relaxation, stretches, body and voice warm-ups, some breathing exercises and some voice exercises. We then sing simple songs, some with piano accompaniment, others acapella with harmony parts. The sessions end with a cup of tea and a chance to chat.

Wednesdays 2-3pm
