Community sing-along

A group visit with optional singing, agreed requests and room to listen quietly.

See an example visit

For senior or young-adult care communities, shaped around the people in the room—not assumptions about age or repertoire.

Illustrative 45-minute running order

  1. 5 min — Welcome and choices
  2. 10 min — Opening songs
  3. 15 min — Optional sing-along
  4. 10 min — Requests
  5. 5 min — A shared close

Singing and requests are invitations, never requirements. People may listen or choose not to take part.

Practical setup

Agree a suitable shared space, a staff/contact person, access and any support needed with the community. Group size is open to discussion. Equipment and sound setup are agreed separately.

Duration is adjusted by agreement. Hospital length and format require staff approval.

Quote & confirmation

Performer, format, duration, travel/setup and separately agreed extras shape the quote. Performer, repertoire, dates, setting, support, price and terms need confirmation.

How it works

A little conversation.
A personal experience.

Plan a visit
  1. 01

    Tell us what you have in mind

    Who the experience is for, musical preferences, and the setting.

    Shape the music together

    Discuss the repertoire, format, and a clear quote.

  3. 03

    Confirm the details

    After a delivered visit, invite feedback and discuss next steps.

A personal starting point

Design your visit.

Start with the people, the mood and the music. Shape a starting outline for a personal conversation—no personal details needed. We agree the scope and quote before any commitment.

The example visits above are available to read. Email to plan a visit

Your outline is temporary and resets when you refresh. Copy or print it to keep it.

Why Sound of Care

Care should still make
room for creativity.

Sound of Care is being built around a simple idea: receiving care should not mean losing access to music, creative expression, and connection.

Our mission is to help keep the joy of music and connection alive especially for those who need it most.

WE MAKE THE PROCESS SIMPLE

Start where you are.

Where we start
