Musical Enjoyment Never Ends
Posted March 19, 2010
Studies have shown that musical perception, sensibility, emotion, and memory can serve us long after other forms of memory have disappeared as we age. We have found this to be true among our residents at Hale Makua Wailuku. Our residents enjoy a good tune and appreciate an uplifting beat to put a smile on their face if for no other reason than it makes them happy. It is for these reasons that we were thrilled to welcome Angie Carr yesterday afternoon.
Angie has been performing on the piano for over 20 years. Raised in a musically talented family, she received her BA in Piano Performance and Pedagogy at Bethel College, with a minor in Saxophone performance. She also received her Master’s degree in Piano Performance and Composition from Western Michigan University.
Throughout Angie’s career, she has always been active in the community by teaching privately, playing for weddings, receptions, church services, and banquets, as well as accompanying local choirs, vocalists, and instrumentalists. Angie has performed may solo recitals and other musical performances, including Carnegie Hall.
It was a heart warming experience to see the faces of our residents, and the enjoyment that they receive from hearing a musical performance by Angie Carr. Mahalo Angie for taking the time to perform for our kupuna!
