Making Musical Connections Ideas by Kelly Rocchi https://padlet.com/krocchi/6fv3i0u7td4l Made with a taste for adventure en-us 2019-10-01 15:23:46 UTC 2019-10-01 15:53:11 UTC hello@padlet.com Idea???? IDK I'm making this up as I go. https://padlet.com/krocchi/6fv3i0u7td4l/wish/391966630 A lot of the people that end up in these homes usually don't have their family visit them often. It's terrible. So I would like be able to sit and talk with them, learn about them, and create a closer bond. In my old school, we would go to nursing homes and share our talents and play games with the residents. It doesn't have to be overly complex but something simple and memorable.

We could also prepare questions to ask about their favorite music and what they would like to hear us sing for them when we come to visit, so that we can perform more songs that they know and enjoy. https://padlet.com/krocchi/6fv3i0u7td4l/wish/391968084 We could also all try to partner up with a resident so that we can have a more individualized relationship with their community. We could make cards or small gifts for our partners on certain occasions or when we visit.
