Classes for Seniors

The Harriet Tubman House offers a wide variety of classes for seniors age 65 years and older that create group opportunities, ultimately offering older adults an awareness and mindfulness, while stimulating intellectual curiosity and developing knowledge, skills and competencies that can increase personal control, self mastery and motivation. Engagement in this domain increases cognition, building neural circuits in the brain that benefit and contribute to one’s health and overall well-being.

Platinum Singers
12 Wednesdays 2:00 – 3:30 pm
Learn to sing and share music with other seniors—

In this class, guided by instructor Elizabeth Anker, we learn to use our speaking and singing voices in a healthy way, boost our air power, volume and expressivity. We sing together and harmonize; we even learn to write some of our own stories into songs!

Past performances have included The State House, Mayor’s Tree Lighting, and USES events with children.

Bookmaking
8 Tuesdays 1:00 – 2:30 PM
Do you have a story to write? Have you always wanted to make your own scrapbook from scratch?

In this class we will create several finished books that participants can take home and use for writing or journaling, scrap booking, drawing, collage, gifts and more!  We will practice pamphlet stitch, Coptic bound, caterpillar stitch, origami folded books and experimental styles. Sign up for the beginning bookbinding class and learn to make your own blank books.
