Solo Flute/Vocal for Senior Programs
This type of program is something different: Think Vaudeville!
 I dress up in 1940s-50s style evening wear or ball gown
type dresses with fancy hats. I play
music from the 30s, 40s, and 50s on the flute and also sing the song.
Many of the tunes are from Broadway and film. I have created a continually expanding repertoire that is memorable to many
older adults. I add contemporary songs
to demographics that include younger residents and ethnic songs for specific groups
like Spanish songs for Latin people, traditional Jewish songs for Jewish residences,
etc. Both the ladies and the men love
me and the program is upbeat and fun.
One comment I have received several times is how nice it is to be able to hear the
words and melody clearly without a lot of extra stuff going on and I encourage
the audience to sing along with me.I have been asked to come back for repeated performances and have performed at several of the Atria residences, Castle Senior Living Residences, Prospect Park Care Center, Scharome Home, Long Island Living Care, and Sterling Glen in Forest Hills to name a few.
The audiences really seem to get a bang out of the performances. The goal of my program is to evoke happy
memories, provide a visual as well as aural experience and above all, to have a
fun time. I tailor my performances
for specific events as well as the season of the year and it is great for birthday
parties. If you would like, I can provide references from other directors who have
presented my performances at their facilities.
