"We have been really pleased with the film that has been developed as part of
the Arts for Health Cornwall Singing for Well Being project. We had hoped
that we could use film to capture the value of singing, in a way that just
words don't, and also to use it as a resource for care staff to develop
their own confidence to lead singing sessions. The film has certainly
achieved all of our aims and surpassed our expectations.
Barbara has managed to capture the full range of emotions in a simple yet
deeply meaningful way,that really engages the viewer and repeatedly touches
the heart strings. I have watched it many times now but it still brings a
lump to my throat and inspires me to sing and encourage others to as well."
