Repost from TAO Artist Zach Bridges
Zach Bridges writes eloquently about his experience as a TAO artist at a Portsmouth, VA nursing home. Using lessons learned from our artist manual and coupling it with his own talents and tenacity, he created some intimate and very special moments for deserving, yet under-served seniors in our community. Kudos to Zach! and encouragement to all our artists to always strive to connect with the participants in your program. They are just like you and me, only older.

This speaks so well to the power of music to stimulate us emotionally, intellectually, physically and spiritually… it’s just amazing to see this reaction. TAO artists see it with great regularity!
