Northeast Iowa School of Music is now accepting registrations for the new Healing Harmonies Chorus, a community choir specifically designed to aid adults living with memory disorders and their caregivers. The Chorus will begin its first 12-week session on Friday, September 20, 12:45PM- 2:15 PM. Rehearsals will be held at Luther Manor Grand Meadows, 5300 Grand Meadow Drive in Asbury. Under the direction of music therapist Callie Mescher, the chorus seeks to create a musical and social experience that is supportive, nurturing, and fun for both the deeply forgetful and the caregivers. Other community members are invited to participate as well.

Those interested are invited to attend the first rehearsal for free but pre-registration is recommended so there will be enough music on hand. Pre-register by clicking on the Healing Harmonies banner link at nisom.com. For those wishing to join, the registration is $30 per person ($55/pair) for the 12-weeks. Staff will be onsite at the first two rehearsals for registration. Adults with memory disorders must be accompanied by a caregiver. No musical experience necessary.
