from Part II - An Experiential View of Music in Senior Centers
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 February 2023
The authors home in further in this chapter to examine how music played a part in the lives of older adult clients of six senior centers. Interviewees’ colorful words and stories combine with the authors’ recollections of their visits to weave a figurative tapestry of senior center clients’ musical histories and music participation, both within and outside senior centers. A brief foray is also made into the musical backgrounds of center activity leaders. All of this information sets the stage for an exploration of these adults’ motivations for engaging in music and the barriers some encountered along the way. The chapter ends with a brief synthesis of the role of music participation in interviewees’ quality of life.
