Ageing Voices |
1. About Us
Sing Ireland, the national group singing support agency, Creative Ireland and Creative Aging International have come together to produce resources and best practice training programmes for musicians and carers working with older people.
Singing is fun, therapeutic, social, and stimulating. It takes place in groups, choirs, health centres, schools, even hospitals. Older adults who sing might be fit as a fiddle or challenged by illness. They might seek excellence, enjoyment or both.
There is a lot of great singing happening around the country. We want to celebrate it. We are setting out to help the people who help people sing, to do this as well as they can.

We need your help to collate what is available and where, what you are interested in learning more about, where you think we can help you.
