Abstract

The rhythm band in the long-term care facility need not be a childish or demeahing activity if it is planned and executed with order, stimulation, fun, and group-building and musical results in mind. Necessary aspects of organizing a rhythm band include determining instrumentation, choosing music, and "arranging" each song. The end result is staff and residents working together to produce pleasing and stimulating music.
