Thank you for agreeing to participate in Perfect Harmony's virtual resources Focus Group. This site is here as a guide for your engagement with our study.
Purpose of This Study: The Great American Songbook Foundation is conducting a program assessment of the newly established virtual resources of the Perfect Harmony program. You are invited to participate. The purpose of this focus group is to examine how the resources are being used by caregivers. Specifically, we want to understand whether these resources are contributing to an increased access and active use of music as a tool in elder care. We will use this information to improve the virtual resources we offer moving forward in 2021. Review the Focus Group Overview below for more information.
