Music is filling the halls across campus since our Fall Music Therapy groups kicked off! Kensington Park is pleased to offer four different groups in our Woodlands and Groves buildings: The Woodlands Women and The Music Men in Woodlands, and The Treblemakers and The Chromatics in Groves. Our theme is “The Making of Musicals: From Broadway to the Silver Screen.”
Though we will feature the same music in all groups, what differs are two things: how we use the music and what we use it to accomplish. The Chromatics focus on music as means for self-expression, enjoyment, and social engagement, meaning you will likely see more singing and instrument play during the group. The Music Men use the music as a segway into discussion, analysis, and reminiscence to encourage meaningful engagement between the gentlemen. See the difference?
We look forward to bringing our residents together in December for a small performance. We will sing our favorite tunes from the series, and we hope to invite family members too. Thank you for letting us share music with your loved ones!
