This music book purchase was a gift for someone in a care facility. Our choir uses our Eldersong books (purchased last year) when singing in care facilities, assisted living facilities, and memory care facilities throughout our community. We, and our Eldersong music, are always very well-received; residents love to join in singing with us. Eldersong books are perfect for our needs and reasonably priced. Our pianist does struggle a bit with the music book songs not being in the same order as in the 4-volume books that accompany, especially when our director changes the order of songs in our performance.

I have been very successful using it in a memory care situation. The residents know these songs!!!

I am very impressed with Elder Songs. My residents can sing along very easily because the music is purposeful, or for them, meaning the music itself is in a lower key, it is their favorite songs or melodies and I can make it fun for them when I lead them with my piano playing.

This book is awesome, in that it has songs that the elderly in nursing homes can access easily. This is especially valuable for those who have dementia; as they sing familiar songs, they are sometimes able to access their speech and engage. Plus, these songs are fun and cover all the seasons of the year. I like how everything is in one book.

This was a real treat for whom I got it. Their older version was in the process of dying. I surprised them with a Father's Day gift.

Very nice, relatively easy for average piano player, helpful chords for guitar. My only disappointment is that songs aren't in order according to songbook volumes.

So far we are enjoying the music book and the 1st volume of Sing-Along .Looking forward to volume #2. We are a small group of seniors that have recently formed to enjoy singing, again. Very happy to have discovered ElderSong

I would have liked more to the left hand accompaniment. But for many, the left hand is fine. Also have wondered why songs are written with sharps, rather than flats. Most piano players like to play keys that are written with flats, rather than sharps.

Easy to play songs and written in a lower key for everyone to enjoy!

It's a wonderful collection of songs that most of us older folks remember from our past. I understand that you have written them in a lower key to accommodate the older lower voices. This makes it more difficult for me as a "nonprofessional pianist" because I like playing with fewer sharps and flats.
