Music for all ages
Inspiration and resources from MakingMusic
It’s no secret that music is an activity that can continue throughout your life. In fact, research shows that participation in music enriches the lives of older adults by enhancing their sense of well-being and improving their quality of life. The National Association for Making Music Foundation supports North American initiatives to make sure older adults are able to enjoy music making well into their golden years, and there are similar networks in other countries.
This selection of initiatives, available through the Making Music website, demonstrates how continuing to be actively involved in music making can give you enormous pleasure as well as tangible health and community rewards.
