Acknowledgment of Musical Memories’ Inspiration
We would like to express our heartfelt appreciation to Ms. Maria DeBacco, whose vision and compassion inspired the creation of Musical Memories. It was Ms. Maria who first took her students, including Tara Lim (our co-founder), to visit a local memory care unit. That experience sparked a deep connection between music and memory, and ultimately led to the founding of Musical Memories.
We are grateful for her guidance and support in those early stages. Her dedication to intergenerational connection through the arts planted the seed for what became a meaningful program for many.
