Insight Memory Care Center in Fairfax

Insight Memory Care Center is partnering with Encore Creativity for Older Adults, the nation’s largest choral program for singers 55+, to offer a chorus for those diagnosed with early or beginning moderate Alzheimer’s and other memory impairments.

Singers in the chorus, along with their care partner, will learn familiar and new songs in three-part harmony. We will rehearse familiar music for the season, along with old favorites such as Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Everyone will learn vocal technique skills to improve their singing voice and, of course, enjoy the all-important social aspect of choral singing!

We are hopeful that all care partners will also sing! If you don’t feel as musically inclined, care partners can also just listen in to rehearsals.

Fall 2024 Session Details: Every Wednesday effective 9/4/2024 until 12/18/2024 from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM

You will register for the Fall 2024 Session at the link below. Please choose the Sentimental Journey Singers of Fairfax option on the registration form.
