ged Care Music Resources is a unique A Australian enterprise solely dedicated to developing age-appropriate music and music-based resources to improve life quality for our elders in care, particularly those living in full-time care.
Graeme comes from a long career in aviation operating Boeing 727 and Boeing 747 as a professional Flight Engineer, never imagining he would ever be connected with the aged care sector.
His story 'The Music of John Sidney An Aviator's Passion' is an engaging story where you will discover how a chance meeting of one incredibly talented pianist from Tasmania completely changed his direction in life.
Driven by the knowledge that music makes a world of difference to the elderly, Graeme has spent the past 16 years spreading the word about music’s value, producing and recording the music of Australian artists, and creating music-based resources for use in aged care.
During this time he’s traveled the length and breadth of Australia visiting aged care and retirement facilities in order to meet and talk with residents, carers, therapists, and activities and lifestyle coordinators to learn more about their needs.
Wanting to benefit individuals on a whole-person scale, Aged Care Music Resources draws on the expertise of diversional and music therapists as well as a range of other professionals to design, develop and produce high quality and hard-working music resources.
The aim is not only to provide easy listening and entertainment for the elderly, but also to support aged care professionals in their delivery of varied movement, mental-stimulation, memory and recreational sessions by creating a range of resources that are easy for therapists and facilitators to use, and wonderful entertainment for the people in their care. 2 AUSTRALIA NEW ZEALAND
Our COVID-19 Response
Music makes a world of difference to the elderly
Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures and as Aged Care Suppliers and committed Christians both Graeme Pope (creator of Aged Care Music Resources) and Linda Hoogenboom (founder of the social enterprise QualityLife in New Zealand) believe they need to “do their bit” to support the Aged Care industry at this difficult time.
To this end they have agreed to supply the Aged Care Music resources to those interested at a substantial discount* (and a substantial loss for them) in the hopes that these resources will help you meet the needs of the residents and add some much needed fun that can be enjoyed from a safe distance until we return to our normal routines!
The good news is that when things get back to normal these resources will continue to provide hours of enjoyment and engagement for your residents.
Take care and bless you all for the work you do to make the lives of those elderly in our care engaging and worthwhile. Graeme Pope & Linda Hoogenboom 3 Our COVID-19 Response How we manage your order with your safety in mind

We all understand what a powerful medium music is, with its ability to evoke memory and reminiscence. When correctly employed in any activity, such use of music can impact positively on quality of life for those living in aged care communities, especially for people living with dementia.
Armchair travels facilitated with music, will trigger memories that can take people on evocative journeys and therefore, used in this way, music becomes an invaluable tool to invoke meaningful experiences for the participants.
On the enclosed training DVD, Colette demonstrates how she conducts her Musical Armchair Travels sessions. Meet the team
