from Part II - An Experiential View of Music in Senior Centers
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 February 2023
This chapter brings a deeper dive into the types of musical activities found in six senior centers. Music-related activities fell into four categories: (a) passive listening to music, (b) active listening to music, (c) purposeful or deliberate movement to music, and (d) music-making. Descriptions of each type of activity are illustrated with the words of those who participated in them or led them, as well as senior center managers and staff. Musical activities included concert, German, polka, and jazz bands; ukulele and guitar groups; a harmonica club; choirs and choruses; and karaoke groups. The chapter closes with insights drawn from this close-range view of music in senior centers, organized under the emergent themes of (a) active and welcoming, (b) variety and choice, (c) prevalence, (d) musical development, (e) enjoyment, and (f) connection.
