Omgoodness there is nothing like music to bring out the person who is inside the patient or the diagnosis. We are much more than a label. The raw power of music to connect us to our humanity. 💕 I love this so much. Gorgeous voice Jack and delightful playing dad. Such a beautiful duo 🙏 Jack and Dad

How wonderful! The NeuroMusic Collaborative - a joint project between the Brain & Mind Centre and Sydney Conservatorium of Music has launched a world-first study to find out if musical training can slow the rate of cognitive decline to avoid dementia…

Volunteers will either learn the piano, join a choir and learn to sing or engage in watching different musical genres of film.

It’s so affirming to see all the positive benefits of music making we’ve been promoting for decades being realised in such a forum. 🎶💕

With no cure yet, we're working on a groundbreaking research program to see if we can slow the rate of cognitive decline with music, to prevent dementia.

We've been sprouting the positive benefits of playing the ukulele for years and we love this infographic by the Wales Ukulele Project - do it people! MAKE MUSIC 4 LIFE! :)

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week. Have you thought about playing Ukulele to improve your Well-Being?

🎶Creates Connections - Music brings people together. Sharing songs builds belonging and strengthens relationships.

🎶Improves Focus & Mindfulness - Playing the ukulele encourages you to be present in the moment and gives your mind a healthy focus.

🎶A Healthy Outlet - Express yourself, release emotions and turn difficult days into meaningful moments.

We were so privileged to host Cynthia Lin Down Under in 2024… so many fan girl moments from ukesters who had started their ukeing with Cynthia on her hugely successful YouTube channel - https://youtube.com/! Certainly the members or our ukulele community and Slightly Plucked Up crew had an awesome time! Well, Cynthia reached out to let me know she’s back in Australia on Saturday 11th April with a full day masterclass, concert and community jam on the Northern Beaches. The event will be hosted by Janet Raine and the Northern Beaches Ukulele Group . Please visit cynthialin.com/events for tickets. Not to be missed! 🎸🎶🌺🤙
