Singing with Fiona

Residents at Bourne View gathered for a lively singing session with Fiona Pritchard, Colten Care’s Music and Arts Partner. The visit was particularly welcomed by Myrtle and Muriel, who were keen to join in after missing Fiona’s previous sessions at the home.

The afternoon began with gentle breathing and vocal warm-ups before residents moved on to singing together as a group. Fiona guided the session with her usual enthusiasm, introducing new techniques alongside a selection of familiar songs. As voices joined together around the room, residents followed along, supported one another and enjoyed the shared experience of making music.

By the end of the session, conversations continued long after the final song, with many already looking forward to Fiona’s next visit.
