This rhythm-based training program will provide participants with the skills, hands on experience and training materials necessary to implement a variety of rhythm based activities in their senior communities. This program meets the rising need of extended care facilities to find fun, physically engaging, interactive community building activities that will serve to build community and keep residents mentally alert and active.

Participants will receive a training guidebook as a resource in the workplace. A CD with rhythmic concepts and ideas will also be included in the “facilitator guide” packet. Participants will learn to make simple instruments that can be created at their worksite by residents or volunteers.
