After the success of our last. We were invited back to come and present a another Community Music Session at the War Memorial, but this time it was to celebrate New Zealand Music Month
We've moved into doing our Mutual Appreciation Society on Wednesdays so I thought it would be appropriate to ask our participants, would they like to do a song list of New Zealand. Artists and present or would they like to pick an artist from New Zealand and then do a specific song list of their favorite songs? And then? Play, engage and create with those.
They decided that they wanted to rock out to Stan Walker. I was most delighted with their choice, I had a backup Spotify list. But Stan Walker was a great choice as I know they love his music. Using our Mutual Appreciation Society Process to decide which songs did we think would be best to take to our session at the library for everyone to enjoy.
Song list was created. Susan sent out a invitation to. Different members of the disabled community. Letting the community know that I would be hosting a session at the library again.
This time we had a remarkable uptake of participation. From our community. We have. The participants from. Kimmy Ora. Drama Christie Thumbs up. Local library visitors and Manaaki Ability Trust.
Crank the stereo up. After a welcome song. Away we went. Let loose the musical instruments and the poise. And had ourselves a cranking session.
It was lovely to see you, the bonding and connection with the different members in our community. There was a reminiscing back to our dear friend John Paul and some of the sessions he used to run at the library. Also some of the commonality and generosity found within the community. How nice it is when we get together. Quite joyous.
