Songs & Smiles is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization built with the mission of keeping families connected during the Alzheimer's journey.
Our singalongs are designed to be fun for the whole family, including loved ones who have Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. Singing together can help people living with dementia better connect with family and friends and their own joy-filled memories.
All of our singalongs feature uplifting, positive, and widely known songs. We select singable keys and tempos, then add easy-to-read lyrics and an on-screen singalong leader. This video features Songs & Smiles co-founder Eric Kolb.
We support songwriters and musicians, so we license copyrighted songs and recordings. We also use many public domain songs and original recordings. If you would like to help us include more copyrighted music in our singalongs, please visit our website to make a donation.
