[HANASHIR:12187] Re: Intergenerational Choir

[ilana axel <iaxel...>]

Rachelle - It sounds super, and I would love to have a
write up of the program afterwards.
I have done something similar, though not exactly
this. You might like to examine, if families come
together, which families might have some group musical
skills. Then let a family play/sing a small part of a
song together. We do this and it adds to the intimate
family - "teach your children" themes of Chanukah. I
add singles to families to create "Family groups".
Anyway, that's it, it sounds great and I wish you much
fulfillment!
