Remini-Sing

The Remini-Sing project consisted of a pilot study and subsequent randomised controlled trial investigating the effects of a 10-week community-based therapeutic group singing program, in comparison to usual care, on relationship quality, wellbeing, and quality of life for both participants with dementia and their family caregivers. This research was funded by an NH&MRC-ARC Dementia Research Development Fellowship.
