Welcome to WoodSong!

Music in the Second 50 Years

WoodSong offers music resources and presents musical events and workshops for adults and all
care-givers who provide social, religious, and health-care services for senior adults.

Who we are . . .

WoodSong is owned and operated by Dawn C. Wooderson.  Dawn is a musician with a special interest in Music Experiences in the Second 50 Years.  After teaching music in public schools, serving as a church choir director and organist, and teaching in colleges and universities, Dawn entered several non-traditional ways of teaching in community centers, retirement communities, and health-care facilities with questions: 

•  What place does music have in each person's unique experiences after age 50? 
•  What can musicians do to help others enjoy the benefits of experiencing a variety of musical experiences?
•  How can we harness the power of music for health, healing, and palliative care for older adults with special needs?

To answer these questions, Dawn visited many facilities and residences, returned to graduate study in Gerontology at Baylor University, and continues to attend professional conferences. Her study is enriched by presenting a wide variety of music sessions for older adults at learning centers, retreats, community centers, and residential communities.

Sharing knowledge gained from a life-time in music and 18 years in older adult services, Dawn speaks at national and regional professional conferences for health-care, social service, and religious organizations. 

Dawn is the primary author and producer of WoodSong's Songs of Faith large-print hymnbooks and recordings.   Her academic credentials include a Ph.D. in Music Education from Florida State University.

WoodSong is the publisher and producer of the Songs of Faith large-print hymnbooks and recordings.
