BAYSWATER aged care residents have improved their music skills and vocals after finishing a six-week workshop series with the West Australian Symphony Orchestra.
WASO and Amana Living completed the series at St Georges Care Centre in Bayswater last month.
The workshops, which involved three musicians working with residents on different collaborative music pieces each week, were part of the 2019 Amana Living Arts Festibal.
Former Churchlands Senior High School student Kate Page, who has worked with Wigmore Hall, London Philharmonic Orchestra, and Guildhall School of Music and Drama in the UK, joined percussionist Amanda Dean and violinist Sara Duhig to run the workshops.
