Sound Connections is an elder-centered community music gathering where people come together to create, connect, and thrive through live music-making.
Music has many benefits for people as we age. It provides stimulation to the brain, supports emotional regulation, fosters self- expression, and can improve quality of life. Sound Connections is offered in collaboration with Oakwood Creative Care, a new creative arts-based day club for adults with memory loss. Board Certified music therapist Meghan Callaghan MT-BC will facilitate activities including interactive singing, drumming, movement, songwriting, and guided dialogue. The event welcomes community participants with memory loss. Support will be available to provide care partner respite during the session.
