Generations Music Together® Classes (Mixed-age, 0-5yrs)
Share the joy of making music with "grandfriends"
by participating in a Music Together® Generations Class!
We hope to bring this exciting program back soon... stay tuned!
What to expect in your Generations Music Together® class:
This is a Mixed-Age class (birth to 5) that takes place at an assisted living facility and includes the senior residents of the facility.
These classes create a joyful connection among generations and engage the residents' minds and bodies.
The classes are also beneficial for helping the elderly participants to stay mentally and physically alert and stir up cherished musical memories.
The classes also inspire the facility staff members to weave music into everyday interactions with the elders.
Heartsong families also benefit from the weekly interactions with the residents, who become an extended family to our Heartsong families.
Each weekly 45-minute class includes songs, chants, dancing, and instrument play.
The residents are invited to sit in a circle around the Heartsong families, participate in any way they can, and join in on the fun and music-making.
Songbooks accompany each session, distributed in your first class, with instructions for downloading recordings of the collection. (CDs and full sheet music are available as well.)
