Have you ever wanted to contribute to the world in meaningful ways? Our natural gifts and talents were given to us so that we can do this very thing. Contribute. Music in all it's shapes and forms has the ability to create enriching experiences for everyone-especially residents at senior communities. We might feel unprepared to go out into the world on our own and share our music with them. Maybe we feel like we aren't yet ready or 'good enough' to play for others. You are. And if you are reading this, you are ready to become a 'paid' performer for senior communities. And they NEED you! Your music is valuable. Your musical program can enhance a resident's well-being, comfort, emotional health, and stimulate memories. Your love and light can bring happiness to a resident who might be feeling lonely, sad, or depressed. Your voice and presence and melodies can bring light into their day-if only for a moment. When you introduce this fantastically special part of yourself into the world of senior communities , you are making their world better. You are making OUR world better! You are creating a better world for our family, friends, and our children. So, what's stopping you? Let me know in the comments what your thoughts are about your musical program for seniors. I want to help you get started making an impact AND an income❤️

I'm excited to build a community of musicians who want to turn music into meaningful 'paid' gigs! It's so much fun playing music for senior communities and I'm happy to help you along your journey as you begin shining love and light on senior audiences. To kick things off, introduce yourself below and answer these 3 questions: 1. What instrument do you play? 2. Have you done any paid gigs yet? 3. What would your "dream gig" look like? Let's help each other grow, improve, and get booked!

As I move forward with creating s business entertaining seniors, I am looking to create a website, a business card, and a “demo reel”. Does anyone have examples, specific to performing for seniors, that they can share? I suppose activity directors would be the primary audience.

Have you ever considered senior communities as a path to consistent 'paid' gigs? Not only is this audience receptive and appreciative of new performers, there are communities everywhere that are looking for new talent AND will pay you to visit them every month!

If you want to be successful as a senior community performer you need to have a heart of service. Residents at senior communities want to experience your show, not just passively listen to you. You need to make that connection and sometimes it's not just about playing their favorite song, it's about understanding we are there to serve. Someone came up to me after my show this evening and said she liked 'Rocky Mountain High'. I lead into this song with a story about hiking in northern NY near Lake George and she said "I liked the way you sing it, it made me feel something deeper" Be brave and share the stories that are personal and inspiring. Often times, this is the best way to enrich the show and give them a part of ourselves while we are performing❤️
