There are many things to value about the generations before us, and one of those was the ability to gather and connect.  Music was often utilized in this as friends and families gathered around a piano or a guitar, or sang a capella on the porch or while making dinner.  I am Amanda Armstrong, the creator of Treasured Memories, and I seek to foster this same kind of connection as I gather with seniors, playing the most memorable songs of their lives, and encouraging them to join in and sing.  Everyone is seen and heard.  Everyone is important.  And connection is the most important thing.
