Intergenerational Play Time @ Potomac

Music Day

Do-Re-Mi, it's music day!

On music day we will be having lots of fun learning about and playing music together. We will play musical games, learn how to read music, play different instruments, and if the weather permits go outside to play on our outdoor musical instruments. People of all abilities and skill levels will be able to have fun while learning with and from each other.

Intergenerational Play Time @ Potomac is a program that takes place on a monthly basis that fosters wellbeing and community building through the inclusion of all community members. Intergenerational interaction and activity are beneficial to children and adults in so many ways, from decreasing loneliness and depression to increasing self esteem, empathy, and appreciation of diversity. Intergenerational refers to people of different generations interacting in meaningful ways. By creating programs and space to facilitate these kinds of interactions, we hope to strengthen our community. People of all abilities will be able to participate in fun and enriching activities that facilitate connection.
