Music Share for Seniors

Music Share provides access to new and meaningful relationships built around shared experience and a love of music.

Music Share is a new program that connects student volunteers with elderly persons who are feeling isolated so that they may, together, converse about and explore music. The volunteer and the senior participant explore music treasured by the participant via an iPad and a wireless speaker (materials provided by Music Share). The music acts as an access point to stimulate dialogue and trigger moments of lucidity in people who may be well into their later years. This exchange benefits seniors as they receive increased one-on-one attention, are reintroduced to music they may have not heard in years, and are shown ways to retrieve this media on their own (if they so choose). The program also benefits the volunteers by breaking down barriers that divide young and old. Thus enabling the volunteers to build relationships with community members they would have never been exposed to otherwise, resulting in more sympathetic and compassionate youth.

Music is comfort made audible 🎶
It carries memories, belonging, and warmth through every note. For seniors, each melody brings a sense of contentment, a reminder of love, and moments once cherished. The true gift of music is the serenity it offers the instant a beat begins to play. 💛
