It also provides laughter, when we realize one of us can't carry a tune, lol. I have laughed a lot with my family when we sing together because eventually I can't resist the temptation to sing in opera or like a rock star. I'm a bit of a ham! Thanks for the great information. I have spent many hours on my smart phone sharing music with my clients. I ask them to give me a song and then I play it. They are amazed every time.
Thank you for sharing my video! There are 4 more in this series about using music in care on my website that you might find helpful. Thanks again!
