New Music Therapy at Bluebell House

Exciting New Music Therapy at Bluebell House: Moo Music!

This month at Bluebell House, we introduced an exciting new music therapy program known as Moo Music, and it’s been an absolute hit with residents and staff alike!



Moo Music brings a fresh, fun approach to therapy through musical instruments, interactive songs, and engaging activities like parachute games. From tapping drums to shaking maracas, residents are enjoying the chance to express themselves through music while boosting their physical and mental wellbeing. The therapy encourages teamwork, helping everyone bond while having a great time together.

Music really does have the power to lift spirits, and the positive energy at Bluebell House has been infectious! We’re thrilled to see how Moo Music is keeping everyone active, engaged, and most importantly—smiling.
