New Area Manager for Musica West Midlands

With an ever increasing demand for care homes to engage and stimulate their residents, it can be a challenge to provide a variety of activities which is highly important for both the well-being of the residents and the reputation of the care home. Musica is fast becoming the answer to this concern and the business has recently launched with a new Area Manager in the West Midlands.

Musica offers affordable hour-long music workshops to care homes, taking residents on a musical journey from a gentle warm up, through to reminiscence, quizzes and singing – culminating in a live performance from talented, professional Musica Representatives. With clients ranging from large care home groups to small independent establishments, this unique business specialises in the care home market with the aim of stimulating residents and improving cognitive functions, providing a more active life for people in care homes. Due to the success in South West Musica has expanded into the West Midlands!       

Musica focuses on the well-being of older people and particularly specialises in the engagement of people with dementia. Musica is an active corporate partner of the Alzheimer’s Society and a member of the Dementia Action Alliance.

Christa Hugo, pictured, is joining the Musica team to run the West Midlands territory. She says “Musica was set up in 2010 by Rosanna Mead, and since then, it has grown rapidly. I am so excited to be taking on the running of Musica here, and really looking forward to meeting local homes and their residents”.

Christa studied music at the University of Southampton and qualified as a secondary school music teacher at Bath Spa University College. Christa is a highly skilled and experienced all-round musician and gained grade 8 distinctions in both piano and oboe at a young age. At all Musica sessions in the West Midlands she will be performing and very much hopes to share her passion for music with residents and activity coordinators alike.

As well as workshops, Musica also provides musicians for care homes looking to put on open days, fetes or special entertainment. To learn more about Musica, visit www.musica-music.co.uk or call Christa Hugo on 07941 108 342.
