According to the rector of FUnAti, Dr. Euler Ribeiro, the project encourages healthy aging, promoting culture and art.

“It is important to carry out presentations like this one that bring our students closer to the arts, music and dance. Being in motion, with a healthy mind and body are part of quality aging, and that is what FUnATI has promoted since its foundation”,

Student João Balieiro, 81 years old, played an exciting guitar solo, cheering everyone present. Her daughter, Raimunda Balieiro, 60, says that Music Therapy classes have been incredible in her father’s life.

“We are five sisters and four brothers, our father became a widower and when we saw that he was lonely, lonely, we got together and looked for a place for him to entertain himself. We brought him to FUnATI and he is in the Music Therapy workshop. Here he found himself, made new friends and is very happy”,

said the daughter, who is also a student at the foundation.

To the sound of “Uma Música Lenta”, student Francisca Queiroz, 62, told of the joy of being able to get in touch with art: “Through the Music Therapy workshop, I felt love reborn in me. It’s been a great experience to participate and it’s an honor to be part of the group of serenaders. Here we don’t diminish ourselves, I see that we are more than winners”,

highlighted the student.
