Music for Your Mind
Our Story.
We are volunteer musicians dedicated to sharing our joy of music to foster a sense of well-being and enhance the daily lives of the elderly in our communities!
We partner with local senior living communities to support their residents in memory care units.
We are a non-profit organization that began in 2017 with a group of high school student volunteers from Weddington High School, led by our Executive Director, Olivia Anton.

Studies have shown music may reduce agitation and improve behavioral issues that are common in the middle-stages of the disease.
Going through songs can help them with:
Raising our Voices for Care and Connections.
