Rhythm ’N’ Song

Creating a Shared Social Experience Through Song

Facilitated by SARRC’s music therapist, Rhythm ‘N’ Song is designed to provide young adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), ages 15-21, with a supportive social environment for forming friendships, developing interpersonal skills and building self-esteem. Typical peers participating in the Boy Scouts of America Eagle Scout program will serve as mentors through group interaction and peer modeling. Young adults participating in the social group will work together to practice and rehearse songs during the four-week program, which will conclude with a live performance for friends and family. Participants interested in developing their singing voice will learn new techniques to increase vocal confidence. Other students will have an opportunity to participate in the musical experience as instrumentalists.

Dates: Thursdays, April 12-May 3, 2007

Time: 6:30–8:00 p.m.

Where: Corona Del Sol LDS Seminary Building
1111 E. Knox Road
Tempe, AZ 85284

Cost: $60
