Welcome, Spring! Though with the mild weather we have been experiencing all winter, it has felt like spring for a few months now. These past weeks we celebrated International Women's Day listening to nostalgic music selections from countries all around the world. And we welcomed new music therapy intern Ben who joins us from Texas. He is a voice major who also plays guitar. Our staff has also been busy updating our continuing education requirements by recertifying in First Aid / CPR and Dept. of Health Food Handler training, some of the many ways we strive to keep participants at the center healthy and safe.
A couple more video sessions from intern Madison:
1 - Sing Along – What a Wonderful World / Somewhere Over the Rainbow
(We will start with some singing to warm up our voices and minds. Sing along with me to “What a Wonderful World” and “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.”)

2 - Name That Tune
(Time to test your memory by guessing what song I’m playing! Feel free to pause as needed to give yourself plenty of time to guess.)
