Summary
The dramatic impact of the global pandemic has reached every sector of society, and older adults are no exception. This chapter presents a mid-pandemic (October 2021) survey study of senior center managers in six cities of different sizes across the United States regarding the changes made in senior center activities since the pre-pandemic period (prior to March 2020), with a specific focus on musical activities in three categories: music-making, dance and exercise with music, and attending live music performance. Discussions also include how center managers plan to adopt changes in their programs and services, especially in musical offerings, as we emerge from the pandemic.
