- Singing: traditional songs, big band, rock and roll and more…
- Listening: relaxing meditation sound and breathing awareness

“I just wanted to express my appreciation for the magic you created on the memory floor this afternoon.
I come to visit my sister and take her for a walk every day so I know that the residents are usually sitting around sleeping or staring into space or slowly wandering around. I have never seen more residents participating in an activity and I have never seen so much enthusiasm or so many smiles. You brought true joy into lives that have so little. You have a gift for what you do and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the happiness and movement you gave my sister and the others.”
Sincerely
Barbara R
“Everyone was talking about the drum circle yesterday and this morning a few staff were still commenting on how it was a great time. It was amazing to see so many of our residents participating. It really was great fun!I think it’s great that you are up for trying new things. I love the movement with the boom whackers with the left ,, center,, right…. Your solo was great and it allowed for a little rest and the closing was great with the surf of the ocean. Everyone enjoys following your rhythm and it is a good challenge (even for me)-lots of good things for sure!”
