Generations Music Together® Classes (Mixed-Age, 0-5 years)
Share the joy of making music with "grandfriends".
Returning for the Fall of 2026!
What to expect in your Generations Music Together® Class:
This is a Mixed-Age Class (0-5 years) that takes place at an assisted living facility and includes the senior residents of the facility.
There will be 6 to 12 children in each 45-minute class, which meets once a week, for the duration of the seasonal session.
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.)
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.
These classes create a joyful connection among generations and engage the residents' minds and bodies, 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 like an extended family.
