ASofT Music Project
As a JAZZ-FM listener, I’ve known about the Alzheimer Society of Toronto’s Music Project for a while now. One day it occurred to me that an iPod with music tailored to the tastes of participants in the Seniors Program would be helpful for our participants who are experiencing dementia. Nadia Aftab and her staff at AST put together a beautiful iPod filled with songs sung in Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and English, including music by Canadian bands specifically mentioned by participants. When the iPod was ready for pickup, Nadia let me know, and I was able to thank her in person. Anastasia the receptionist was kind enough to pose for this photograph!
