This has been so very successful that it has been a most rewarding experience. The Brookline Senior Centre chorus ,with voices ranging from age 70 onwards to 97. At least 5 of the nonegerians sing solo voice with such joi de vivre..they have brought the house down . melodically accurate, rhythymically correct with first class delivery! Most of them seldom miss a rehearsal, as a matter of fact they bounce in and out, looking forward tothe rehearsal, with total identification with the group, and freedom in suggestions to improve the performance! Now we have started a chorus for some parkinson's patients. We have had only 5 meetings thus far, and there is concrete evidence of the gains- posture, mood, strength in the voice...active participation...suggestions...good cheer. The room hardly has any traces of depression left. Singing is a good thing. Zohra Your Message Since I came to Boston , about ten years ago, I have been involved in running choruses for Seniors.

When I am feeling beyond what I can handle, putting on the oldies reminds me of better times for both of us. When he recognizes the music, I sometimes get my husband back for a short while.
