Individual Singing session
Personalized support
Singing together brings relaxation, connection, and joy — even in challenging times. Our Individual Singing sessions, guided by certified Care-Singers, offer a unique and personal experience in your own home, tailored to the needs of you or your loved one.
What is an Individual Singing session?
An Individual Singing session lasts approximately one hour and is guided by a certified Care-Singer trained by Maartje de Lint. Each session takes place in the comfort of your own home and is carefully attuned to the needs, preferences, and energy of the person present.
The repertoire is thoughtfully selected and tailored to personal taste, ranging from familiar songs to classical pieces. Singing together is gently invited, but never required — participants may join in, listen, or simply experience the music in their own way.
Family members and informal caregivers are welcome to take part or enjoy a moment of shared presence and rest. No prior singing experience is needed.
“Maartje started Individual Singing sessions with my mother, who has dementia. It was like a miracle: my mother immediately beamed. She could sing along to the songs easily, and that gave her more self-confidence, especially since speaking is becoming increasingly difficult. My father, who has Parkinson’s disease, was also interested. The Individual Singing sessions alleviate his pain and give him strength. They both enjoy it immensely. I recommend it to everyone. You’ll be amazed.”
