Joy with music and dance

A handbook for dance and music activities with seniors. Those who care for older adults or individuals with disabilities understand the joy that music and movement bring to their faces. The positive side effects are often noticed later: not only is health stabilized, but music and dance also provide enjoyment, invigorate daily life, and promote body control, concentration and memory performance, group communication, responsiveness, and creativity. The author has compiled his many years of practical experience with seniors in this work. He offers suggestions and assistance for practice, especially in the musical field, to everyone who interacts with older adults, both professionally and personally. No special musical knowledge or skills on an instrument are required.
