Our Mission Statement
The mission of TunesForSeniors ® is to deliver memorable musical performances to seniors residing in diverse settings. These performances extend beyond mere entertainment; they serve as a platform for both cognitive stimulation and the healing power of music. Music possesses the remarkable capacity to challenge the mind, enhance concentration, and bolster overall cognitive abilities. TunesForSeniors ® is lead and originated by a passionate jazz pianist, currently a Junior at Hinsdale Central High School and a member of the esteemed Chicago Youth Symphony Jazz Orchestra. His driving force is a heartfelt desire to give back to the community that has inspired and nurtured his musical journey.

Join Our Community: Senior Residences
Activity Directors at senior residences may request a live in-person performance and request dedicated one on one live streams to individuals with online access. Our commitment is unwavering — to tailor our musical offerings to meet the unique needs of all seniors. Currently our live performance offering is limited to the western suburbs of Chicago, but we hope to expand the offering throughout the greater Chicago area. Live streams may be delivered to anywhere in the USA! If any individual music performer wishes to include a senior retirement home in their community, that would be most welcomed. We aspire to craft distinct and captivating experiences for seniors residing in various community settings, including retirement homes, assisted living facilities, and senior centers. We extend an invitation for you to include our musical performances as a delightful addition to the activities and events of your retirement community.
The Value and Impact of Music on Seniors
We take immense pride in accommodating requests for events and ensuring that seniors consistently have access to the therapeutic benefits of music by providing both in person and virtual performances. Our initiative is firmly anchored in delivering music services that are finely alinged to the specific needs of seniors. We deliver both entertainment and cognitive stimulation through immersive live musical experiences.
Our journey is underpinned by a deep understanding of the therapeutic and uplifting influence of music, particularly for older adults. A wealth of research has demonstrated that music profoundly impacts cognitive function, enhances memory retention, and bolsters emotional well-being in seniors. Music possesses the exceptional ability to evoke cherished memories, kindle joy, and cultivate a profound sense of connection. Please see the Blog below for addtional research data on this subject.
