Nearly half a million Australians live with dementia.

The Great Day Choir meets every two weeks, using music to help dementia patients and their loved ones.

She says anyone can join her choir and perform songs that are specially curated in the hope they’ll spark memories, lift spirits and create a lasting impact.
