PROGRAMS FOR OLDER ADULTS
|
With a special repertoire of appealing songs, Patricia cheers and involves senior citizens (and their family members) at community centers, retirement villages and nursing homes. With guitar and Autoharp accompaniment she brings quality and interest to renditions of old folk tunes like Red River Valley, popular songs like Side By Side and Summertime, spunky-fun originals like Watermelon, and familiar, universal hymns like Amazing Grace. Groups are always welcomed and encouraged to sing along with familiar tunes…and they usually do. She even takes requests and strings songs together with stories and snippets of humor. It is intentionally a positive, meaningful and uplifting experience.

Please know that all of us were delighted with the selections you chose. And, of course, the “personalized” songs were terrific! Thanks, Patricia. (Carol Ebel, The Portage Senior Center, Portage, MI)
