We propose a program of virtual voice lessons delivered via Zoom, designed to engage residents in a fun, creative activity that also empowers them with vital safety knowledge. The "Tea" is the latest scam prevention information however, we also encourage residents to literally bring a cup of tea to sip during our sessions, if they'd like. Each session of "Voice Lessons & Tea" will follow a clear, engaging format: 

​

• Scam Awareness Alert (3 -10 minutes): Each class and private session will begin with a brief, relevant, and easy-to-understand alert on a common or emerging scam targeting older adults (e.g., imposter scams, phishing). The focus is on empowering residents with simple verification techniques, like "hang up and call the family member personally".

• Virtual Voice Lessons (40 to 50 minutes depending on the number of participants or session type): The core of the program will be group voice instruction consisting of vocal aerobics and creative vocalization, proven to enhance emotional well-being and social interaction while improving vocal performance, however we will also offer a private 1:1 learning option with the expert voice coach. The program is accessible to independent seniors and older adults 50 and up, of all singing and public speaking skill levels and will be delivered virtually to easily reach residents in their homes, rooms or a common area.
