Senior Sing-Alongs

Chris has a genuine love for "the greatest generation" and brings joy, laughter, and happiness with each event. For over 15 years, he has served the assisted living and memory care communities creating meaningful and engaging performances and sing-alongs. With every song that is sung, hymn that is prayed, and every note played, Chris has the unique ability to unlock the memories of all. Chris' energy is infectious. He is kind and focused. He makes each person he interacts with feel special. Margaret Irvine-Pawola

Live entertainment can boost the mood of both residents and staff. A fun, one hour performance can bring a smile to your residents’ faces, especially those who are chronically ill or living with dementia. Can I be that one hour performance? I promise a lot of singing and tons of laughs!

I would be thrilled to have the opportunity to perform and conduct a sing-along for your residents. My programs are dynamic, engaging, personal, memorable, and a lot of fun! I encourage resident participation in singing and moving to: top hits from the 20's - 70's; country and folk songs; old-time hymns; songs that encourage movement; and patriotic, seasonal, and holiday favorites. I've worked in senior living communities for over 15 years and was an activity director for many of those years. I've hired dozens of entertainers and know what a good performance and performer looks like. I know what works to get your seniors engaged. Contact me to set up a performance that will put smiles on the faces of your residents!

TESTIMONIALS

"Chris has given music lessons to my three children and me for years. He is professional and enthusiastic about music. All of us have learned about music in an enjoyable way. Chris has a deep talent for music, but more importantly, he cares deeply about his students and cultivates their love of music.” Brian Corr, Phd Horticulturist​​

“After my first guitar lesson with Chris, I felt very encouraged and decided to keep coming back to see him. My goal was to learn guitar theory in order to get out of a rut of mindless noodling. Since starting with Chris just a few months ago, I’m surprised at how quickly I’ve progressed. I thought it would be much more difficult, but Chris is a fantastic teacher. He is patient yet also pushes you to really study the lesson materials. I look forward to each session with Chris and definitely recommend him to folks who want to get a grip on music theory for guitar.” Josh Wade, Software Engineer

“I have taken lessons with Chris for a year. I have found him to be an extremely skilled musician, but he is still very encouraging for a beginner and has endless patience. I don’t think I could have stayed with it for the long haul without his help and cheerleading! I love to hear him play for those few minutes at the end of the lesson. It is so inspiring. He is an amazing musician and a great human being.” Pamela Walden, Psychologist & Care-Giver

"Chris' talents when working with elderly Alzheimer's patients is nothing short of miraculous. His musical talent, both playing the guitar and piano, as well as singing, make his programs a site of laughter, participation, and fond memories. It is amazing to observe residents who spend much of the day withdrawn from interaction suddenly come alive: hands clapping, sitting upright, laughing, and interacting with each other. Chris plays a perfect selection of songs: old stand-by-hymns, songs from another era, as well as some quirky modern songs that have become favorites. Each song resonates with so many of those present. Music touches the hearts and memories of those residents in ways that nothing else can. It is a gift." Brian Gustafson, Son of Louise
