Valentine’s Day Live Stream

Join me for my annual Be My Valentine Program. Be My Valentine contains songs for February but with a twist of course. The first song is easy enough – Love is in the Air. Well of course it is on Valentine’s Day. But before you can have a Valentine, you start out single. For the gentlemen, you are called a gigolo and ladies I’ll call you gigolettes! So that is song two, “I’m Just a Gigolo.” Now you may find yourself at an event and across the room you see someone that interests you, let’s call that person a “Stranger in the Night.” Well sparks might fly and before you know it you’re hit by a pizza pie! (That’s Amore). (continued below) Be My Valentine! Love is in the Air I’m Just a Gigalo Strangers in the Night That’s Amore Red Roses for a Blue Lady Can’t Smile Without You I Just Called To Say I Love You It Had to be You Crazy Copacabana Love and Marriage Heart of My Heart I Left My Heart in San Francisco My Funny Valentine Achy Breaky Heart You’re Nobody Till Somebody Loves You Then you find yourself smitten and of course doing silly things like sending “Red Roses for a Blue Lady”, finding that you “Can’t Smile” without thinking about that person or calling to say I love you (I Just Called). You then figure out that this is the one. (It Had to be You). Every romance has its heartache and you start thinking that you must have been “Crazy” to be with […]

Guided Reflective Music Listening with Ines Delgado

Guided reflective music listening: Discovering ourselves through music Note: Throughout this activity, Ines will be encouraging you to reflect on one or two questions related to each piece of music that she is playing. She personally likes writing some notes as she does these reflective listening activities - so she has made a Personal Guide which contains all the questions, as well as empty spaces for you to make notes. You can download your guide here in pdf format or Word format alternatively, you can just have a pencil and a notebook Introduction Join me in this guided reflective music listening, where I will be inviting you to reflect about yourself, explore your feelings and notice your thoughts, as I play a variety of music pieces on my violin. As we explore the various music pieces together, I will introduce each piece and suggest a question or a thought for you to reflect on. Our aim is to allow our minds to be embraced by the music and, in that safe space, allow our thoughts to emerge natural and spontaneously.  This is an activity which I love doing myself, in my free time, and I am very happy to be sharing this special, reflective moment with you. Who is this guided reflective music listening experience for? Anyone who understands the importance of self-reflection and self-knowledge, or who is curious to know more about it. Anyone who is curious to feel how music can inspire and deepen our moments of reflection […]

Science for Seniors – The Mystery of the Ocean Life w Gloria Hoffner

Live Stream

Science for Seniors provides real live science in a fun setting! Ocean life explains where did the water come from; why it is salty; what is the largest creature etc. Fun fact - Ladies never date a shark because they are all one night stands. To initiate mating male sharks bite the fin of the female and pull her down in the water mating during the process. She responds after mating by twisting loose, knocking a few of his teeth out and swimming away never to see him again. Female sharks lay eggs or give birth to the egg sacks and swim off. No female shark ever sticks around for 2 a.m. feedings or makes cupcakes for the children's school bake sale. Sharks are not fish. They do not have a swim bladder as do fish. Instead, sharks float due to the oil in their liver. Here is an experiment to explain how. Experiment: How do sharks swim? Materials: Empty paper towel tube, scissors, balloon, large clear bowl, water and cooking oil. Process: Cut the paper towel tube into two equal parts. Fill the bowl with water. Place one paper tube on the top of the bowl of water and observe. Remove the paper tube. Fill the balloon with cooking oil and tie shut. Place the filled balloon into the second paper tube. Place the paper tube on the top of the bowl of water and observe. Result: The tube of paper fills with water and sinks, but the tube […]
