Who’s joining me on the livestream THIS Tuesday? This will be open to all members to converse and connect. I’m excited to have a guest on this call who recently started playing music for senior communities. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Join us for a special livestream tomorrow evening with featured guest Aaron Turner! Aaron has just started doing gigs at senior communities. This livestream I wanted to get his voice on how to begin scheduling shows, challenges he is facing, and perhaps answer a few of your questions on building a senior gig career. Looking forward to seeing you there! Also, if you have had trouble using your microphone or camera on Skool calls in the past, I found this video that can be helpful in troubleshooting this problem.

What's the biggest challenge you are facing as you begin reaching out and scheduling shows at senior communities? Bring your questions, share your successes and join us on the livestream THIS Thursday evening at 7pm, EST. Let's build each other up and help one another to bring our light and love to senior communities across the world!❤️❤️❤️

A resident requested a song, Here Comes the Sun, and I was excited because I knew it well and I played it and made him happy. Then, another resident requested a song. Again, I was excited because I knew it sorta well and played it and made him happy..Good right? Well..... Pretty soon , EVERYBODY started shouting out songs for me to play and the although I KINDA knew SOME of the requests, my show became a chaos of songs that I knew but I didn't know THAT well and instead of sticking with my prepared song list I got carried away trying to make everyone happy. Don't get carried away trying to please everyone and doing their requests. Stick to the songs that you know well and do the show the way you prepared. Sometimes we can do requests but it's better for you and your audience if you either set aside maybe 10 minutes at the end of the show to do requests OR say "I love that song but let me learn to play it well for you during my next visit". You can't please everyone all the time. Just do you best and be respectful and maybe add some new songs to your setlist for the next show!

If you call on 10 senior communities you might book 1 gig. Thats the average. You'll wonder why they aren't getting back to you. Or if they even listened to your message . You'll question whether it's worth it to make calls when nobody returns them.. It's not you. It's a numbers game. If you are calling communities and not having much luck it's because you haven't called enough communities. Activity directors are MONUMENTALLY busy and don't always have time to answer the phone OR listen to voicemails because they are never at their desk. Make a list of 100 communities. Set aside a day (Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday) and start calling between 11-2pm. Go through the whole list. You will book gigs this way. ❤️🎶🫡
