Alexis Tidwell-Bailey, a SFYS artist since 2023, led a solo session at Central Harlem Senior Citizens Centers this week.
“About a year ago, I had the opportunity to sing Gospel songs and hymns to my grandmother as she made her transition. That forever changed me. I saw first hand, and in such an intimate way, what that did for her heart. As someone who has studied music for the past 30 years, I've always been interested in music therapy and the effects music has on people with dementia and other cognitive conditions. I would love to give them this offering of a little trip down memory lane!”
Thank you to Alexis for this beautiful session, which truly did create touching opportunities for the audience to connect and remember.
