In preparation for this, my mother organized a little chorus of her peers and friends there and they sang familiar carols and Christmas songs. To my amazement, my mother conducted the chorus, even though she is legally blind from macular degeneration!<\/p>\n<p>I have no doubt that those who participate in music-making activites keep their brains active and young and the research in this field backs that belief up!
