Musical guests from The Front Porch enrich the lives of seniors and preschoolers

Last November, The Front Porch, after receiving a grant from Twice Is Nice Upscale Resale Boutique, announced that they were launching an intergenerational music exploration program with the seniors and preschoolers at JABA. The Front Porch was already supporting our Shining Stars preschool with weekly music classes, but now our preschoolers and seniors are engaging in music experiences together!

On Friday, January 27, we heard classics like Hokey Pokey, You are My Sunshine, and Country Roads.

"We're absolutely LOVING these intergenerational musical moments and sing-alongs with our friends over at JABA in Charlottesville," The Front Porch posted on Facebook. "It's been emotional to see the preschoolers and senior members interact, dance, and sing along to old (and new) favorites."

Every other Friday, Front Porch artists will be going to JABA to provide this musical enrichment to a combined group of senior members and preschoolers. (photos courtesy of the Front Porch)
