Music

August 22, 2014 By Judith Eugene

Like all forms of art, music moves each of us in distinctly individual ways.  Music is an integral accompaniment to all eras of our lives, past and present.  Hearing a song from our past carries us back to that place in time, and reminds us of the sentiments and memories that we associate with it.  And listening to a new piece of music stimulates our emotions and inspires our opinions in ways that define who we are and what we believe in.  Music is therefore not only a critical component of our history, but also has the power to affect and define our present.

  • Holiday Activity! Holiday Sing-Along  – An hour full of memorable songs that are sure to get your group into a festive spirit!  Small percussion instruments are handed out so that everyone can participate.  We can do a non-denominational performance, or a combination of secular and religious music. This activity is sure to get those bells jingling and those toes tapping! (1 hour class)
  • New!!! Good Vibrations – How is sound made? How does it travel through the air? What makes some sounds pleasant and other sounds unpleasant? This interactive class teaches the mechanics of sound vibrations through demonstrations of musical instruments, wind chimes, and our own voices. We will combine science with practical examples, and also have fun singing songs together.
  • Musical Autobiographies – We help you make a list of all of the songs that are meaningful to you, and write down the stories and memories that make the songs so special to you.  We then create a musical chronology of your life with a special, personalized CD.  The stories and memories are printed on the CD insert to explain the significance of each song.  The CDs make wonderful heirloom gifts for family and friends.
  • Music Sing-Along – A fun activity for all ages.  Our musician plays guitar and sings, while inviting you to participate.  We also have small percussion instruments available for you to try.  Sing-Alongs are available for all ages: older seniors, Baby Boomers, Gen X-ers, and kids. We also discuss the history behind each song for an interesting educational look at songwriting history. (1 hour class)
  • Music Discussion – A musician performs songs, accompanied by guitar, that are specifically chosen to evoke memory, opinion, or emotion.  We then talk after each song to share the life experiences that the song reminds you of.  This is a fun way not only to share past experiences that are important to you, but to also express your current viewpoint on several relevant subjects. (1 hour class)
