Summary
In the final chapter of Part II, the authors take a broad view of the sights, sounds, and stories shared in Chapters 3–5, point out findings that support earlier research, and introduce and discuss new findings that emerged from this research journey. Conclusions are organized in three large sections that mirror the foci of the previous three chapters: the six senior centers, music within the centers, and perspectives on older adult center clients’ music participation. The chapter closes with new thoughts and ideas relative to the role of music in senior centers and in older adults’ lives.
