Grace Hall.. Music Therapy Before Trick or Treaters...

This evening and usually once a week Grace Hall have visitors from Eastern Michigan Students and Professors come in and do Music Therapy with them. Music is so important with family members with dementia and throughtout the evening you could hear some family members singing, clapping, smiling and giggling. Yes.. Happy Grace Hall Buds....hearing music.

Tonight was a special Music time because they had songs to sing about Halloween , and all kinds of fun instruments to play with along with their singing. Several of them including my mom Lucy Lou did not have an idea how to play but once you showed Lucy Lou and the other Cutie Pies they were shaking all over the place. 

Tonight one of the professor's brought in an old parachute. Trust me this is so much fun playing with it with music. Several of the Grace Hall Buds did not want to give back any of the adorable instruments once they knew how to play it, but the professor knew just what to say to get all the instruments back in her bag. Everyone tonight had so much fun.. playing with the instruments, and the huge rainbow parachute, even ME!
