I called the group ESTEEM &#8211; Enabling Seniors To Enjoy Ensemble Music. We met weekly  in Don Heights Unitarian Congregation\u2019s premises.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ESTEEM in Don Mills began in 2018, with Joe and Carolyn demonstrating for&nbsp; the seniors in the group, how they played music using &#8216;garage band&#8217; on an i-Pad. The seniors used Orff instruments the first year.  In our second year some of them began using i-Pads. The exception was Eric. The bass xylophone was always \u201chis\u201d instrument!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blissymbolics.ca\/w532\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Orff-Instruments.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-438\" width=\"314\" height=\"183\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blissymbolics.ca\/w532\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Orff-Instruments.jpg 700w, https:\/\/blissymbolics.ca\/w532\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Orff-Instruments-300x176.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 314px) 100vw, 314px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We have lost Mary and Eric, Joe has moved to Orillia, and Covid-19 has made it impossible for us to continue our sessions.
