Our focus is those with early to mid-stage Alzheimer's/dementia and their Caregivers along with Community Volunteers. Musical memory and the ability to sing favorite songs are some of the last memories that those with this disease retain. So, singing is a joyful activity for them. The camaraderie and fellowship that develops between those with this debilitating disease, their caregivers and those people who are also in the same boat, helps to forma wonderful new support system and new memories as well.
Musical Memory Singers provides individuals with Alzheimer/dementia and those who care for them opportunities to build community, enrich lives and create new memories through joyful singing.
We require an updated computer and 2 laptops to present our programs. We pay ASCAP fees for the music we sing.
An honorarium is given to our Musical Director and
our Pianist.
We need a backup microphone headset and we currently use a borrowed sound system.
We would like to provide refreshments to our group through donation.
Musical Memory Singers is an equal opportunity organization. Our weekly meetings are for the benefit of anyone in the Arlington area and surrounding communities who is suffering from Alzheimer's or dementia.
