Kitchens starting music program for older adults
The music hasn’t skipped a beat for the Rev. Mary Kitchen and her husband, Allen, after her retirement from the pulpit last year.
The former pastor of the yoked churches of East Butler Presbyterian and North Butler Presbyterian and their music director are starting a new group to teach older people to play a musical instrument.
The Kitchens are starting a Butler chapter of New Horizons Music International Music Association, whose programs provide entry points to music-making for adults. This includes people with no musical experience at all and also people who were active in school music programs but have been inactive for a long period.
Mary Kitchen said the group would meet at 2 p.m. Thursdays, beginning Sept. 29, at Trinity Presbyterian Church, 107 Staley Ave.
Kitchen invites people to call her for information at 412-266-0930.
