Return of Ukulele Class and Sing Along at Bello Gardens
Bridging thru Music coordinator Rob Thomure returned to teach a third ukulele class at Bello Gardens Assisted Living in San Anselmo on Feb. 18, 2020, this time with the help of LITA volunteer Mary Keydash who added her beautiful voice. The focus of the class was on rhythm and strumming, using food phrases such as “apple pie” and “hot fudge sundae” as guides. Residents learned some new rhythms, and worked up an appetite at the same time. “Fly me to the Moon”, “What a Wonderful World”, “When Irish Eyes are Smiling” and other classics were sung and strummed, and everyone had a blast. Even the Bello Gardens’ staff cook popped in and played for a bit!
“So many residents came up to me after to tell me how much they enjoyed it. They Iove to sing along to and play the ukulele!!! Even those who were initially reluctant to participate enjoyed it.”
