Welcome to
Over 170+ singers

Sing Out Choir is more than just a choir
It’s a supportive & comfortable space where we use the power of music to connect and create joyful moments that resonate far beyond our choir sessions. We are more than just a choir, we are a community, bound by melody and friendship.
We welcome people living with dementia and other disabilities, their carers, family members, friends, and volunteer singers to experience the power of music in its therapeutic form.

The Science Behind Singing & Dementia
Research shows that music can ignite memories, improve mood, and enhance cognitive function, even in those with advanced dementia. Music is more than sound—it’s memory, connection, and emotion.
Singing sparks memories – Even when words are forgotten, melodies remain.
Music eases agitation – Reducing stress, anxiety, and behavioural symptoms.
Music therapy is medicine for the brain and is widely recommended as an alternative to medication.
Singing creates community – Helping people feel valued, included, and connected.
Music is medicine for the soul, and we see it every week at Sing Out Choir. Some of our singers, who have lost their verbal skills, suddenly recall every word of their favourite song. Others, who once sat silently, smile, sway, and sing along.
See the magic for yourself.
Events
Along with weekly sessions, the choir performs throughout the region, from small gatherings and garden events to large-scale performances at the Dubbo Regional Theatre. These are wonderful opportunities that keep us connected with the local community and help raise awareness about dementia and the benefits of music for mental well-being.
