Learning well-known songs: Using rock band instruments\, participants will be able to play a song together within 5 minutes. Improvisation: Creative improvisation using a ‘touchless’ instrument using motion sensor technology. Song-writing: By the end of the workshops\, participants will have created their own song\, and will have new knowledge about how to access and use iPad music Apps. These workshops are exploratory ‘pilot’ sessions for a research project about lifelong musical learning. Previous research has demonstrated the power of music for positive quality of life among adults. Your participation in this research is extremely valuable and will help us to develop inclusive and meaningful musical activities.

SUMMARY:Community Outreach Session: Better Communication with Memory Impaired Loved Ones
DESCRIPTION:Do you have a close tie with someone living with memory loss? If so\, you are not alone. The Alzheimers’ Society of Canada tells us that the disease affects 1.1 M Canadians directly or indirectly. Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias slowly erode a person’s ability to communicate. Memory impairment can be isolating for the one experiencing it as well as for those providing caring. Conversations may become awkward and frustrating. You may feel tempted to give up trying to connect. Communication with a person with Alzheimer’s requires patience\, understanding and good listening skills. Join us as Geneviève Gaboury\, Counsellor with la Société Alzheimer de Québec\, presents effective\, supportive ways to help you and the person with dementia understand each other better. Learn how to become part of a new wave to make our daily conversations more inclusive! \n \n  \nThis free event  is taking place in collaboration with Life Long Learning and will be held at Eastern Quebec Learning Centre  (3005\, rue William Stuart\, Quebec\, QC G1W 1V4) in room 118 on Wednesday\, June 19 starting at 10 am. To register\, please contact Jan Anderson\, Community Organizer at 418-684-5333 Ext 1539 or janderson@jhpartners.net \n  \nhttps://wejh.ca/community-outreach-session-better-communication-with-memory-impaired-loved-ones/
