Performing for seniors is a blessing and an honor, for at times, we forget that, memories will be our most cherished everlasting treasure. Once I understood that my musical gift had the power to reach people beyond their disease, only one question remained. Where do I play next?
Music has been known to affect those with dementia and Alzheimer's. Study shows that dementia and Alzheimer's patients can recall memories and emotions, and have enhanced mental performance after singing their favorite tunes.
As a result, I designed a few “Jazzy Pearls Sing Along Books”, provided upon request, for those who wish to glimpse at the lyrics as they sing along. Lyrics are easy to read, visibly numbered and printed in large fonts.
Music Therapy for Alzheimer & Dementia Patients
Music evokes emotions that bring memories.
Musical memory and appreciation are two of the last remaining abilities in dementia patients.
Music can bring back the ability to share emotions, leading to physical closeness, hugs, kisses, dancing
& touching.
Listening & Singing Along is engaging both side of the brain, leading to more mind power that usual.
Music can shift mood, manage stress and stimulate positive interactions.
Listening & Singing music does not require the cognitive function that is not present in most dementia & Alzheimer's patients.
Performing For Seniors & Long Terme Care Homes
How Jazzy pearl Came to Life....
Pharmacists provide medication, Doctors perform surgeries,
We, musicians, addresses the soul…
Jazzy Pearls is the result of many things… I entertained as a pianist-singer for years and one day, simply fell in love with the saxophone.
I love the golden age of Jazz, Cole Porter's music among many others, every thing that pertains to the previous era, fashion, pearls, hats & coquetry… This venture is perfectly aligned with who I am as a performer and as a person.
Studys shows that Music boosts brain activity for the following reasons;
We recently had Louise from Jazzy Pearls come and perform for our Long Term Care residents.
I am very pleased to write that Louise made her music come alive, she helped residents feel old memories, and she brought joy to their feelings. I saw residents singing, I saw residents smiling, and I saw residents crying with tears of remembering past memories. Louise chose a great number of songs that balanced very nicely. I would definitely have Jazzy Pearls back to our home.
She was very professional; she was on time, and very sweet to our residents. Her sing along books were great! They were professional looking, easy to read and easy to handle. I would recommend Jazzy Pearl in a heartbeat. Great entertainer to have.
I highly recommend that Louise and her Solo performance becomes part of your ENTERTAINMENT Roster. Her vocal styling is smooth and expressive. Her performance is called “Jazzy Pearls”. This is a beautiful catchy name, which one can interpret as describing the “Musical Pearls” shared throughout her performance. Some of my favorites include The Tennessee Waltz, More, Autumn Leaves, I'll be Seeing You and Unforgettable
One important feature that your audience will observe is that Louise is having a lot of fun performing. Hiring “Jazzy Pearls” will certainly be one of your best decisions in 2016.
