February's Activity: Board-certified music therapist Dr. Jody Conradi Stark joins us on February 17th. Music evokes memories and emotions, fostering mood and connection with others. Participants and care partners/loved ones will engage in music listening, active music making with hand-held rhythm instruments, gentle movement to music, and singing familiar songs.
Although participation is free, registration is encouraged. Parking and arrival instructions will be emailed to registered participants 48 hours in advance.
