I provide experienced professional programs for nursing homes, assisted living, & rehabilitation facilities.

DESCRIPTION: A one hour musical program, (in many languages if desired, such as English/French /Spanish + 5 others), on guitar and piano (if you have one), plus other instruments (such as the spoons). It comprises both sing-a-long and listening songs. I'm sensitive to the fact different residents have different tastes. The residents are encouraged to join in with with songs both old and new, to clap their hands, tap their feet, or gesture, if they are willing. I also walk around the room with a few a capela songs to make eye contact with each resident, inviting their participation. Sometimes I give the lyrics verbally as we go along, helping with memory loss and exercising short term memory. Many assisted living residents are not interested in participating, and prefer a recital. That's fine too!

MY FEE: is reasonable and affordable. I have been providing programs for facilities such as yours for over fifteen years. If you are located more than 30 or 40 min. from Portsmouth, I try to blockbook 2 or 3 residences the same day, to defray time, gas and food expenses. A reminder invoice is sent 30 days prior, to give you ample time to prepare the activity room, and payment.

PROFILE: I have been a concert musician for over 25 years (with 13 recordings to my credit and 4 DVDs/videos), and am reknown as a French-Canadian recording artist, here and abroad. Including elder residences in my profession has filled me with satisfaction for over 10 years. Some facilities include me in their activities on a monthly basis. Referrals are available upon request.

It is truly a pleasure for me to reach out to you. I hope I can be of service to your facility.

Sincerely, Lucie Therrien
