Music Resources Catalogue Our COVID-19 Response During these difficult times we are here to help you as best we can. We have begun by significantly reducing the prices of our music resources during the COVID-19 pandemic period. MusicMusic makmakeses aa wwororldld ofof difdifffererenceence ttoo tthehe elderelderllyy GRAEME POPE the founder of Aged Care Music Resources 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.
