ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the opportunities for participant wellbeing created by an intergenerational multimodal curriculum based on singing in Ontario, Canada. Our aim is to forward a complexified notion of wellbeing that focuses on the concept of connection. Through data from an exploratory case study of intergenerational curriculum where kindergarten children met with elders at an elder care facility, we illustrate three types of connections we identified in our analysis: connections between singing and other communicational modes; connections between the communicational practices and lives of the elders and children; and connections between the present, past, and future.
