The senior community has been through so much and they deserve to be joyful, however, many of them do not live with their families, so I feel that it is important to interact with them and bring them some happiness. Since I was 6 years old, I have been doing community services by going to senior centers around the Bay Area and playing music for the citizens that live there. Sole Music has a dedicated community service team that goes to senior centers, around 2-3 times a month, to play beautiful, classical music for the inhabitants. Seeing the senior’s become so cheerful and joyful as they listen to the music is truly one of the most rewarding feelings ever. We usually play for about an hour and then afterwards, I like to walk around and talk to all of the seniors that I can. I enjoy conversing with them and talking to them about their life or about their experiences with music. Many of them have stories of when they used to play an instrument and watching them get all ecstatic from remembering those moments was extremely heartwarming.
