The Problem

Due to COVID-19, Senior Living Center has been locked down. Due to COVID-19, our \"Joy of Music\" group stopped in person visiting the elderly communities at this moment, however, our care for the Elderly continue. How could we still bring music to the elderly?

Our Plan

Instead of bringing Live Music to the senior center, I and my Joy of Music made virtual music for the Elderly to Celebrate March, Easter and May, sharing culture & music with the elderly.

Here is how the project went:

It went very well. Young performers practice, record his/her video with the help from his/her parents. Young volunteers creates her own greeting cards, takes photos before dropping off at my house. I am compiling all recordings together in orders, making theme for March, Spring and May while compiling/edit recordings.

Through this project I/we learned:

I learned new skill: how to compile lots of individual recordings. How to edit video to serve the purpose/theme.

What I/we might change:

Remind young volunteer paying attention to the background of recording at home, raising his/her voice, speak louder and slower, and smile to the camera. All of those will be very helpful when it comes to edit videos and compile recordings together for the theme.

My/our favorite part of this project was:

digital edit skill (trim, edit, compile recordings) How to celebrate B-day for the elderly with social distance requirement.

Some tips, tricks or fun facts about the project:

Love the B-day celebration for the elderly with Social Distance Requirement, just be creative lol. Remind young volunteer paying attention to the background of recording at home, raising his/her voice, speak louder and slower, and smile to the camera. All of those mentioned above will be very helpful when it comes to edit videos and compile recordings together for the theme.
