Sounds Like Sherbet Lemons is a current series of creative workshops that support people aged 65+ in Medway to create music using modern technology.
Running between April to June 2019 at Montgomery Court residential home, the project aims to increase familiarity of tablets devices and apps, build skills and support the uptake of accessible technology. The project is also fostering creativity, shared memories, imagination and new friendships.
What is it?
Sounds Like Sherbet Lemons is a 10-week project aimed at older people who are interested in making music and exploring new technology.
Participants are exploring music and sound in many ways - creating poetry, soundtracks, ringtones and jingles. Sessions are informal with the emphasis on having fun while being creative.
