We are looking for enthusiastic individuals that can lead a choir in a senior-living facility near you! Put those intermediate piano skills to good use. Don't waste those years of lessons!

  • Need individual who can play piano and lead songs during choir practice.
  • Practice is once/week for 45 minutes. The date and time can be arranged to fit your schedule.
  • Need not be an accomplished singer. Just have the enthusiasm to encourage and lead the group.
This is an awesome way to give back to your community. The choir members in the senior living facilities love being part of the choir and have told me it is the highlight of their week. This activity is very effective at reducing loneliness, isolation and boredom which is especially important for our seniors who have been locked down due to the pandemic.

All materials provided. We need you!

Mission Statement

The Music for Memories organization uses vocal music programs to improve the aging experience for individuals in senior living facilities. Our mission is to make musical entertainment and participation accessible and possible for all seniors.

Description

The Music For Memories organization brings free vocal music programs to Seniors in a variety of senior-living facilities. The program consists of the a'Choir'd Harmony community choir which travels throughout the East Metro area doing free performances. This 35+ member group has been performing together for over 10 years and has entertained thousands of seniors. New members are welcome!
The organization also implements and supports 'senior' choirs that are comprised of residents within a senior-living facility. These senior choirs have greatly reduced isolation, boredom and loneliness. Senior choir members have stated that choir practice is the highlight of their week. One member stated that singing in the choir was 'more beneficial than all the medications that I take!"

Help us expand this opportunity to other senior living facilities!
