Groovin’ with Grandfriends

an intergenerational music program that focuses on building lifelong friendships and memories through music!

"Groovin' with Grandfriends" is a unique, intergenerational music therapy program where seniors and our local pre-k students unite to share music's joy and forge lasting connections. In this program, we experience the magic of harmonizing generations, promoting emotional well-being, reducing stress, and building friendships beyond the music room.

The key benefits of intergenerational music therapy are:

  • Intergenerational Friendships: Fostering better understanding and connections across generations.

  • Community Engagement: Forming meaningful relationships with the community.

  • Bridging Generations: Breaking down generational barriers through the universal language of music.

  • Cognitive Stimulation: Engaging in research-based interventions that promote memory recall and cognitive functioning.

Join us for "Groovin' with Grandfriends" and be part of a rhythmic celebration that transcends age, creating joy, laughter, and enduring connections!
