Video Resources
Consider playing or viewing these videos on a Smart TV, computer, tablet, or mobile device. Keep in mind these general musical considerations in your set-up!
Activity Resources
This is your one-stop-shop for activity outlines, lyric sheets and visual resources! We hope these will be helpful for care partners, both clinical and at-home, who are planning musical activities for those in their care.
We recommend printing the Activities Packet to follow along with our video resources. The Activities Packet outlines all activities, lyrics sheets, and visual prompts used this month.
Additional Resources
In addition to our activity resources, please reference our technology and activity tips, as well as our additional considerations for working with an individual with dementia and/or cognitive decline.
We also encourage you to follow our Spotify account and access our generational playlists as we continue to build helpful playlists with timeless songs that may resonate with those in your care.
