Joy Givers' Words . . . .
Resounding Joy is the most mutually
enriching experience I've ever known.
Imagine a setting where you get
to do what you love with the people
you love! It is a blessing.
One man diagnosed with Alzheimer's
and autism was brought in to a session
at one of the community-based day
programs, and came alive before
my eyes. I became a believer.
It never ceases to amaze me the
unbelievable power of music and
its impact on peoples' lives. I
enjoy watching others grow from
their experience and interactions
through music and am eager to experience
this awesome involvement myself!
I wish the whole world could
have this experience.
