Strum & Sing for Seniors

(Adult Learners)

Music isn’t just fun, it keeps the mind active, boosts memory, and supports healthy ageing too!

Join our Seniors’ Strum & Sing workshop and learn to play familiar tunes in just 6 weeks! Better yet, bring a friend along, because picking up a new skill is always more fun together!

No music background or experience needed, we will guide you through 5 basic chords and have you strumming along to ‘Home’ and ‘Count On Me Singapore’, just in time to celebrate our Nation’s 61st birthday. Guitars will be provided for the workshop.

Come for the music, stay for the joy. Let’s go on a musical journey together!
