INTERACTIVE MUSIC PROGRAMS
The interactive program involves group singing sessions for seniors in senior living facilities, where they are encouraged to join in. This activity is aimed at spreading the joy of singing and offering various benefits to the seniors.
As we grow older, our bodies and minds undergo several changes, making it difficult to socialize and express ourselves. However, studies indicate that singing can positively impact our health and well-being. Singing can enhance respiratory function, boost the immune system, and elevate mood.
This interactive singing program is designed for various reasons. Singing fosters a sense of community, facilitates connections, and helps in forming friendships. Moreover, it promotes mindfulness, enabling seniors to focus on the present moment. Lastly, singing is a delightful and uplifting experience for all involved.
WORKSHOPS
One of our initial workshops will focus on organizing a singing group at the senior living facility. Here's how we plan to go about it:
Establish a rehearsal schedule.
- Assign vocal parts (sopranos, altos, bass, tenors, etc.).
- Select lead singers
- Choose the music
- Coordinate singing performances
Studies have indicated that participating in a choir can have therapeutic benefits for seniors. It's been shown to reduce stress, enhance mood, and potentially alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety. Singing in a group can also foster mindfulness and assist seniors in staying present in the moment.
