The Senior Singalong is coming to WTJX this November
We are pleased to welcome Ms. Winifred Powell as our director, Ms. Julie Jones, our accompanist,
and singers Ms. Gweneviere Hyndman and Ms. Bodicea Gordon!
In episodes aired twice weekly they sing Virgin Islands favorites, teaching the harmonies and vocal warm-ups in addition to reminding viewers about posture and breathing. Our fabulous singers and director are members of the Bethany Moravian Church choir; thank you to Bethany Moravian for allowing us to use your space to film! This will keep seniors moving forward and engaging musically, until such time that we can safely come together to sing. After speaking with some of our senators, we realized that learning all the same songs across the Virgin Islands raises the possibility of singing together in future Virgin Islands-wide senior events. What a celebration THAT will be!

"The seniors get together to sing and it brings happiness and joy to them because they can interact with each other and with other younger people coming in and joining them. It shows that someone cares when the community comes to spend time with us."
