OLLI - ADVENTURES IN MUSICOLOGY
Have you ever wondered what exactly makes a soprano different from an alto? Or more specifically the difference between a lyric soprano, a dramatic soprano, a coloratura soprano or a mezzo soprano? The purpose of this class will be to investigate the certain qualities or characteristics of vocal range, vocal weight, tessitura, vocal timbre and passagio that are associated with each vocal type. This vocal classification system is also a tool for composers, venues, and listeners to associate certain voice types with roles and employment opportunities. In this class we will identify each of the various vocal types and listen to and examine repertoire that suits each and discuss some singers who have made their careers based upon these particular vocal qualities.
New Classes Starting Friday September 3rd 11:00 AM Palace Theater
With Dr. Eugene A. Greco

What are the benefits of exercise for older adults?
There are many reasons why we tend to slow down and become more sedentary with age. It may be due to health problems, weight pain issues, or worries about falling. Or perhaps you think that exercising simply isn’t for you. But as you grow older, an active lifestyle becomes more important than ever to your health.
A recent Swedish study found that physical activity was the number one contributor to longevity, adding extra years to your life—even if you don’t start exercising until your senior years. But getting active is not just about adding years to your life, it’s about adding life to your years.
Getting moving can help boost your energy, maintain your independence, protect your heart, and manage symptoms of illness or pain as well as your weight. Regular exercise is also good for your mind, mood, and memory. It’s never too late to find simple, enjoyable ways to become more active, improve your mood and outlook, and reap all of the physical and mental health benefits of exercise.
Mental health benefits
Exercise can also help you to:
Improve how well you sleep. Quality sleep is vital for your overall health as you get older. Regular activity can help you fall asleep faster, sleep more deeply, and wake feeling more energetic and refreshed.
Boost your mood and self-confidence. Exercise is a huge stress reliever and the endorphins produced can ac-tually help reduce feelings of sadness, depression, and anxiety. Being active and feeling strong can also help you feel more self-confident.
Improve your brain function Activities like Sudoku or crossword puzzles can help keep your brain active, but little comes close to the beneficial effects of exercise on the brain. It can aid brain functions as diverse as mul-titasking and creativity, and help to prevent memory loss, cognitive decline, and dementia. Getting active may even help slow the progression of brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease.

Wednesday September 8th 2021 Bus Departs 10:30 pm Limited Spaces RSVP
$10:00 per person
The Sample-McDougald House, listed on the National and Local Register of Historic Places, is a distinctive historic house muse-um known for its unique architecture, history and cultural background. It was built in 1916 by Pompano Beach pioneer and farmer, Albert Neal Sample, who served as a community leader until his death in 1941. The home was sold to William and Sarah McDougald in 1943.
Founded in 1984, Gumbo Limbo Nature Center is a unique cooperative project of the City of Boca Raton, the Greater Boca Raton Beach and Park District, Florida Atlantic University, and Friends of Gumbo Limbo. As a beacon for environmental education, research, and conservation, Gumbo Limbo’s 20 acres on the protected barrier island provide refuge to many varieties of plants and animals - some rare or endangered. It also represents a commitment to protect our natural resources by our staff, volunteers, and the organizations that comprise the Center.
