Programs for Adults and Children with Psychiatric, Developmental and/or Physical Disabilities
Sing along, rhythm band, movement. I connect with people. It's my method of making music in every setting. Programs are planned and variable. I encourage personal choices, and if someone requests a particular song and I don't know it, I will often return the next time with that song, copies in hand for participants and/or staff. I memorize and use people's names. I treat everyone the same, and the more often I visit, the sooner I feel like I am making music with my friends. Sliding scale fee. Excellent references!
