Help your graduates find an adult music program in which to continue playing. There is always an appreciative audience at your neighborhood nursing home. The Band Plays On. As more adults look for life fulfilling activities, including active retirees who were once school band members, the need for entry level and intermediate adult bands is greater than ever. Adults are a wonderful age group with which to work.
Bands can be large or small.
Nursing home audiences truly appreciate performances, regardless of the musical prowess of the band. Consider forming and leading a beginning or intermediate adult band in your community. Playing in a band teaches responsibility, dedication and team work. It provides a sense of accomplishment, confidence to handle tasks and great friendships. Playing music as an adult provides a level of enjoyment often more fulfilling than what you experienced as a student.
