Voices in Motion - A Choir for Those with Mental Challenges

In September 2017, four departments at the University of Victoria (Nursing, Psychology, Sociology and Music) joined forces in a study to research the effects of participating in a choir on those with dementia. Spearheaded by Dr. Debra Sheets, founder and researcher, Voices in Motion is a multigenerational choir that offers an effective non-pharmacological approach with surprising benefits for all who socially sing together.

Voices in Motion is a multigenerational choir that intersects the worlds of research and music. People, young and old, sing together and the results for many have been life-changing. In addition to a joy-filled choral experience, singers benefit from belonging to a supportive community where they experience love, connection and support.
