Free places for the public over 50 years of age, are available for personal registration, from 8 a.m., at the Liceu headquarters. Classes are taught by psychologist and singer Caitlin Nascimento.
“Music therapy is a great tool for working on socialization, memory awareness, and working on emotional memory through techniques like listening and composition, and we bring that rescue to healthy identity for everyone in the group. You just have to love the music,” Caitlin said.
According to the psychologist, the classes introduce a group of songs that were part of the students’ path, through dynamics and exercises.
“These are songs that we have to think about and work on rhythm and syncopation. You don’t necessarily need to know how to play an instrument or sing,” he stressed.
