Programme Synopsis Small Songs, Shared Hearts: Across Generations – an intergenerational music and movement program that brings preschool-aged children together to explore songs, rhythm, and playful movement, building musical expression, confidence, and joy in creating together. In the final session, children meet seniors or grandparents for a shared musical experience, fostering empathy, respect for elders, and awareness of cultural traditions. For seniors, the session provides meaningful engagement, cognitive stimulation, and the warmth of shared music-making. At its heart, the program celebrates the power of music to connect generations and create lasting, joyful moments together.
