Bring the joy of music into your caregiving relationship.
Day-to-day care for a family member or friend can be stressful, whether you are caring for them yourself or they are living in a care community. Now, you can learn how to bring beautiful, meaningful experiences into your caregiving during this precious stage of life through music.
In Listen, Sing, Dance, Play, music therapist Rachelle Morgan shows you as a caregiver, through stories and steps, how to engage your care partner in a wide range of music experiences to bring them (and you!) joy, calm, and connection. She includes adaptations and suggestions for people who are living with various physical and cognitive limitations, with a deep understanding of the rhythms of caregiving and how your musical activities will change as you move along the path of caregiving. You'll find that it's easy to listen, sing, dance, and play together - no musical training necessary.
Are you ready to rediscover the joy of music in this season of caregiving? Listen, Sing, Dance, Play will have you singing its praises.
