What to Expect at Funky Bunch!
Each session is packed with exciting musical interventions designed to encourage participation, creativity, and emotional expression. Here's a glimpse of what a typical Funky Bunch session looks like:
Welcome and Warm-up
We kick things off with a lively "Hello Song," where we greet everyone by name, creating a warm and inclusive atmosphere. This is a great way to start building connections and getting ready for the fun ahead!
Drumming Intervention
Get ready to make some noise! Our drum music intervention allows everyone to explore rhythm and beat, fostering a sense of community and shared musical creation. No prior drumming experience is needed – just a willingness to participate!
Scarf Freeze Dance Intervention
This is a favorite among our group members! We'll use colorful scarves, which the group members themselves get to choose which ones they want, for a fun freeze dance. The best part? Our group members also get to choose the next song, empowering them and ensuring the music is always to their liking. It's a fantastic way to combine movement, music, and choice.
Emotion Identification Song
This song is a unique and engaging way to explore emotions. We use a bean bag activity with various faces depicting different emotions. Group members get to reach into a bag, grab a bean bag, and then sing the emotion they've picked. The bean bag is passed around until the music therapist says "stop." Whoever is holding the bean bag at that moment identifies a time they felt that emotion, promoting self-awareness and emotional expression in a safe and supportive environment.
Parachute Activity
Everyone loves the parachute! We'll have a song playing in the background, and the music therapist will choose participants to go underneath the parachute. Don't worry, everyone gets a turn to experience the magic beneath the colorful canopy! This activity encourages cooperation, turn-taking, and provides a multi-sensory experience.
Goodbye Song
We conclude each Funky Bunch session with our special "Goodbye Song," thanking everyone for joining us and wishing them well until the next session.
