Building community and connection for seniors through music

In 2007, Sarah Martin McConnell founded Music for Seniors, a Nashville-based nonprofit, inspired by her mother’s diagnosis with Alzheimer’s disease. Recognizing that older adults often experience greater isolation than other groups, Sarah, a musician herself, saw an opportunity to make a difference. The organization offers live, interactive music programs designed to engage, entertain, and educate seniors, fostering health and well-being.   - Chapters -  00:00:00 Introduction and Background 00:03:09 Writing with Walter Hyatt 00:06:22 Caroling for Profit 00:08:17 Tumbling Staircases 00:14:28 Charge for Your Creativity 00:18:13 Follow Your Bliss 00:21:24 Support of Music City 00:25:27 COVID Courtyard Concerts 00:28:45 Finding the Experts 00:31:00 Closing
