MUSIC FOR THE AGES
A four-piece string ensemble from the West Australian Symphony Orchestra (WASO) recently played to our Mirrabooka residents as part of their Music for the Ages program.
The program brings the beauty and emotion of live classical music to older Australians in the comfort of their own place of residence who are unable to attend a concert.
Music can play a fundamental role in our identity, culture and heritage and it can evoke powerful memories and emotions. It can also have a strong influence on our mindset and wellbeing.
At both our Balcatta and Mirrabooka residences music plays an important role in our therapy programs. From enjoying live performances to having music playing in the background of communal areas, at MYVISTA we see that music can encourage movement, improve socialisation and simply add to the atmosphere.
WASO’s performance was met with tapping of feet, swaying hands, loud applause and a room full of smiling faces. The beautiful music even saw our staff stop work to come and listen.
Thank you to Lifestyle Coordinator Zulli Aleman for organsing this event and to the West Australian Symphony Orchestra for bringing the music to our residents.

Life Stories and Digital Learning
Thanks to the support of the Office of Multicultural Interests, we conducted a very special project in 2019. The project involved pairing 10 young volunteers with 10 residents to work together over a period of 10 weeks to record special stories from the life of each resident. Each pair used an iPad (funded by Lotterywest) to record the stories. With the help of the volunteers, the residents also gained a general understanding of such things as email, Facebook, Google, Skype and YouTube. Click here for a short video and photos |
