Music is the MAGIC™

Keep the Music, Keep Your Memory

Learn How Music, Movement, and Vibrations Can Strengthen Your Brain and Lift Your Spirits!

Presented by award-winning entertainers and music wellness professionals Ronnie Tsunami & Joanna “The Tropical Lady”

🌴 About the Program

Music has the power to unlock memories, boost mood, and reawaken the mind — even when words are forgotten.


In this uplifting, research-based and one-of-a-kind workshop, audiences experience how sound vibrations and music help re-balance brainwave activity, release stress, and strengthen neural connections.

Ronnie and Joanna blend live island-inspired music, movement, and storytelling to create a one-hour journey that’s both heartwarming and healing.


From the moment the first steel drum note plays, participants smile, sing, and move (optional) – and most importantly, remember that joy is still within reach — one song at a time.
