Music for Life

Music education for seniors

'This was an invigorating experience. I looked forward to the sessions with joyful anticipation, and although there were daunting experiences at times, I left with a song in my heart every time.'

Musica Viva is proud to extend its passion for music education beyond schools. Now programs extend into the wider community including senior citizens.

Music for Life is a weekly singing workshop for seniors that is designed to encourage active ageing, decrease social isolation, increase participation in the arts and improve health and well-being. But the seniors who participate don’t care about that – they just love that they spend 2 hours a week learning about music, learning to sing, enjoying each others company and having lots and lots of FUN!

‘I have felt so invigorated – I have so much fun – I have also met more friends’
