The Joy Of Music In Maturity By: Joan Shaw The joy of music has always been evident in the life of Joan Shaw especially as she encourages the inherent music in others. This book is for those who need creative programming for senior citizens in retirement homes, day care centers, geriatric hospitals, nursing homes and those who are aging at home. The monthly themes are coordinated with songs, visual aids, announcements, associations, staff involvement, volunteer participation and community awareness. A lively theme each month will uplift and unify your entire facility. Let this book inspire you and your staff with the joy and value of music. 
 As endorsed by Carna Manthey, MT-BC: "The Joy of Music in Maturity is a must for every activity department and for every music therapist This book gives suggestions of programming in music therapy for gerontology residents. It follows the calendar year, and gives good suggestions for setting up a music therapy program including music menus, interesting cut-outs which can be used, and music resources. I highly recommend this book for music therapists. I used it to set up my music therapy programs in the beginning of my 15 year career in geriatric music therapy. I found it very adaptable for all levels of residents and once my programming was established, I found it easy to add my own material."

Mmb Music

This unique resource was developed from the author's experiences of successfully combining preschool children and retirement and nursing home residents through music and music-based activities. Musical Bridges uses familiar songs and rhythms and presents music-based programs and themes. Traditional music which spans generations has been used as well as popular children's songs.  Both the music and the activities are presented for older adults and 3- to 4-year-olds with special adaptations for 2-year-olds and the material is organized so that anyone working with these populations may implement the programs: activity directors, music therapists, day care teachers, music specialists and recreational directors. Every program allows for positive interactions, and the experiences with these programs will bring joy to everyone as Musical Bridges are created between the generations.  INCLUDES 25 COMPLETE PROGRAMS BASED UPON SUCH THEMES AS:  Animals Apples Baseball Birds Birthdays Chinese New Year Circus Dolls Fall Families Flags Halloween Spring Summer Thanksgiving Winter
