Music for Seniors
If you’re looking for a show that’s full of fun and invites audience participation…
Getting 'witchy' for a Halloween show at Covenant Living of Cromwell!
Music for Laughs is the name of the show I perform for Seniors in many settings, including at Club meetings, Over 55 Communities, Assisted Living, Acute Care, and Memory Care Units.
I also perform room to room "strolling" music.
My goal is always to lift spirits and get everyone singing, clapping, tapping toes along with the music, and yes, having a few laughs along the way.
I play a mix of tunes including familiar songs and funny originals on guitar and my beautiful Zebrawood ukulele. The ukulele as an instrument has the unique ability to instantly lift your mood with its sweet, lilting sound.
Please use the link below to visit my YouTube channel and hear some of my music! There are also live performance videos!

Testimonials
“Susan has a special way of building musical relationships with residents as she visits people at bedside. She learns about each person and provides a song or two they might enjoy; she even takes requests and learns new material in an effort to connect with the residents. Residents light up as they talk about her visits, after the fact.”

For all you Connecticut folks, I had the pleasure of meeting WFSB's Scot Haney at a St. Lukes Eldercare fundraiser several years ago. What a wonderful and hilarious guy!
