Please see update on our lunches, with April now added:
Wednesday 23rd April fellow Burgess Irene Watt will be our guest speaker with her topic “Music Making from The Cradle to the Grave”
As an Ethnomusicologist ( she will explain what that is) Irene will talk about the importance of music, – making it, singing etc – in our lives and how it is a crucial part of everyday life and all stages of life – how without it, it can negatively impact our lives, but by engaging with it, it can have real a positive impact.
Irene will talk about the different stages of life it impacts
Babies and Children, Teenagers, Young Adults, Older Adults, and Seniors.
How it can be used in child development, how we use it to build confidence, to promote teamwork, help communication, create bonding and friendships, and how it can be used for health and mental wellbeing.
Irene will also talk a little bit about how a community choir can serve its community and be an integral part of enriching lives.
The April lunch will be held as usual at RNUC with the normal 12.14pm start, and cost will be £20 per person. Guests are invited
