Bridging the Generations: An Intergenerational Music Class

At Goddard House in Brookline, Assisted Living

May 3 ? May 31, 2012

?

Brookline, MA ? Brookline Music School offers an intergenerational class for children up to 5 years old and seniors at the Goddard House in Brookline, Assisted Living. The class will take place over five Thursdays at 3:30pm for 45 minutes from May 3 to May 31, 2012.

Bridging the Generations: An Intergenerational Music Class combines all the elements of a regular music class, set in a senior living facility, where the residents participate by singing, playing instruments, or simply watching. The class allows for and encourages interaction between the children and the seniors. With rhythm instruments, songs, play materials and movement, we create a rich musical experience for everyone.

Brookline Music School?s Director of Early Childhood and Youth Programs, Ruth Schechter, will be teaching the class. Ruth has been making music with young children for many years and, more recently, she has also been working with seniors. Now she is bringing these two groups together, offering intergenerational music classes in the Brookline area. Ruth has been offering intergenerational classes for the past two years at the Sherrill House in Jamaica Plain with much success.

Class fees are $100 for one session (five classes) and $180 for two sessions (ten classes). Siblings receive a 60 percent discount and babies under 6 months old are free. To register call Brookline Music School at 617-277-4593 or for more information email Ruth Schechter at [email?protected].
