The emergence of targeted intergenerational play programs is a relatively recent pedagogical and therapeutic turn - though one which has already begun to pick up momentum. Intergenerational play programs, workshops, and therapies are springing up everywhere: fast-establishing themselves as a genuine way of improving the cognitive function, social capacity, and physical and psychological wellbeing of children and adults alike. In this whitepaper, we will begin to examine the benefits of the establishment of these programs for senior citizens, school-level children, and communities at large. Specifically, the paper will look into the vital role that music-making can play in drawing the best out of these types of programs and facilitating authentic cross-generational connections.
