At the List Academy of Music, the healing power of music reaches those who need it most. Through its compassionate Music Therapy Program, the Academy brings weekly pro-bono sessions to 11 eldercare centers, serving more than 400 seniors each month. These sessions—ranging from Cognitive Health Interactive Musical Ensembles to Musical Charades and lively community jams—help spark memory, ease agitation, and encourage joyful communication among participants living with neurological disorders.

For many residents, this program offers moments of connection and happiness that words alone cannot convey. With support from the White Family Foundation, the List Academy continues to share the gift of music with those who might otherwise be unable to experience it—proving that rhythm, melody, and human connection can lift the spirit at any age.
