The Bristol Aphasia choir is led by Music Therapists Laura Cook and Denise Wong.
We are a new aphasia friendly choir based in Bristol. We meet at 12.15 – 1.45 pm on Friday afternoons in term time, at UWE Frenchay, Room 2E025.
Laura leads the choir, whilst Denise accompanies alongside.

How is the choir like?
At the sessions we do some warm ups, then sing through some familiar songs. We share the words on a projector screen, with pictures to support with reading. Some people use the words and others find it easier to watch Laura’s mouth and copy as she sings. You can also hum, sing to ‘la’ or any other sound you find easy, or just listen.
We will be joined by UWE music therapy trainees and student volunteers. We sing for around an hour and a half, and then we will move to OneZone cafe to have tea, coffee and biscuits and a chance to socialise at the end. We are a friendly and welcoming bunch and we also like to have fun while singing!
