My twin sons both played the piano and each also played a brass instrument. They played regularly throughout the year on Sundays at an assisted living/nursing home facility during the residents’ coffee & tea hour. They would serve coffee and tea and cookies and then play. They played the piano inside during the more inclement months and took their brass instruments outside into the garden when it was nice out and played duets. As another poster suggested, they learned music that the elderly residents would know. Some of them would sing along. They LOVED having my kids there. They weren’t trying to find something that no one had done before, just use a particular talent they had that was really enjoyed. It all tied in with other elements of their applications.
