This project enabled older learners in residential and day care settings to participate in music activities led by folk musicians and trained activity specialists. The sessions aimed to be informative about folk music and inspire learners to develop their musical skills and to have fun in creating and performing their own songs. The project culminated in a final performance which enabled learners the opportunity to share their music with others. Project leaders also created a music resource pack to support non-specialist staff to encourage older people to participate in musical activities.
