MUSIC, MUSIC THERAPY AND ENTERTAINMENT

"Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." Berthold Auerbach

We all know the power of music. Recreation Departments offer a variety of music programs to provide residents the opportunity for relaxation, cognitive stimulation, reminiscence, mental stimulation, and quality of life. Music programs are instrumental to a well-balanced program of activities and can be adapted to meet the individual needs and interests of residents/patients with varying functional abilities in a variety of health-care settings. Such programs include: Music Therapy (provided by a Music Therapist), Sing-A-Long, Name that Tune, Strolling Minstrels, Rhythm Band, Music Videos, Karaoke, Guest Entertainers, Carolers, Music Listening, Resident Choir, Song Writing, Music Appreciation, Music Games, Sensory and Music, Music and Movement, Talent Shows, Cultural Music, Spiritual Music, Drumming Circles, Tone Chimes, and so much more.
