Insider December 2016 Volunteer Profile: Music Therapy Students I f you happen to walk around on a Friday or Saturday program day, you may have heard singing and the sounds of musical instruments coming from the Hall of Fame room. The S.M.I.L.E. program is so lucky to welcome volunteers from the Acadia School of Music who come to provide cognitive and motor stimulation through participation or observation in song and sometimes movement and dance. The Music Therapy coordinators are Catherine Kennedy and Mia Clow, and they are usually accompanied by a few other music students equipped with instruments including guitars, ukuleles, and sometimes even wind or string instruments. Their main goal is to provide a fun and happy environment for everyone. A New Look Around S.M.I.L.E. I S.M.I.L.E. Returns f you happen to have been present during a S.M.I.L.E. program session as of late, you may have noticed some S.M.I.L.E. volunteers wearing baby blue S.M.I.L.E. t-shirts during them. These volunteers are not S.M.I.L.E. Instructors or Leaders but do hold other positions of responsibility within the program. Those wearing these t-shirts are either providing music therapy, facilitating our snack program for the participants or helping with marketing/fundraising for S.M.I.L.E. They are important members of the S.M.I.L.E. team and we want to make sure that everyone knows what these baby blue t-shirts represent!
