** VOLUNTEERS MUST BE BACKGROUND CHECKED BEFORE ATTENDING SESSIONS. PLEASE DON'T SHOW UP BEFORE CONTACTING ORIANNA@MINDANDMELODY.ORG**
Our Mind&Melody music program at the Sombrillo Nursing in Los Alamos meets weekly on Tuesdays from 1-2 pm. We bring a fun and engaging music program to seniors living with cognitive impairments. You don't need a music background to participate. This is a good opportunity for you if you like to help people and can help motivate and encourage them to participate during the session. We will also need help with passing our instruments and collecting them before and after the session. As well as collecting participants' moods before and after the sessions (we show you how to collect the mood).
For the paid position of Session Leader, it is $35-40, 1hr session. The session leader performs tunes for residents, leads simple music activities, and interacts with the participants. Volunteers help provide support during the sessions, either musically or non musically. We provide training to lead the sessions. During the sessions, participants play simple instruments, sing-a-longs, and communicate through music!
If you are interested in participating please email orianna@mindandmelody.org.
