ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, University of Missouri - Columbia
This research targets retired singers from the university choral ensemble, offering an in-depth examination of the older adults' choir experiences, with a focus on their experiences and reflections. Prior studies have highlighted the benefits of musical involvement for retirees, including extending life expectancy, enhancing quality of life, and providing a means to counteract loneliness and social isolation. This study underscores the vital role of choir participation in the socio-cultural lives of older adults. Serving as a complement and contrast to previous investigations, it aims to showcase the experiences and dynamics of retiree choir participation.
