Give the joy of music with a Friendly Music Visit

Friendly Music Visits are the perfect gift for the adults in your life who:

  • love music
  • live alone or in a nursing facility
  • love to socialize or love the presence of others

Does your loved one have enough stuff, and every material item they need? Give the gift of music, joy, and friendliness! Brittany Scheer is a board certified music therapist with 10+ years of experience in mental health for adults. Brittany follows all current health guidelines and loves to meet new people and share music.

What will the friendly music visit include?

-The friendly music visit will include 30 minutes of live music, played on guitar, violin, and/or voice played by Brittany; as well as the opportunity for your loved one to sing along and play simple percussion instruments if they desire. Brittany will ask for any special song requests and music preferences before arriving and focus on your loved one's preferred music. (Preferred music has the best therapeutic outcomes!)

How do I schedule a friendly music visit?

To schedule a friendly music visit, first fill out the form with your information and loved one's information, and then Brittany will call or email you to finalize the scheduling process. Payment is required to schedule a session and hold that date and time.

When will the visits take place?

To honor the idea of giving a Friendly Music Visit as a gift for the holiday season, Brittany recommends scheduling the visit in January or February of 2023. Why? Typically many adults who live alone or live in a nursing facility have a lot of activities, extra outings, and extra visitors during the holiday months. After the holidays are over, many people feel more isolated. January or February are perfect months to give a little extra special touch to loved ones.

What if I want my Friendly Music Visit to be within the holiday timeframe?

Brittany will have minimal scheduling availability within the holiday timeframe. If you would like your visit scheduled around Christmastime, there are openings on December 27th.

What is the cost and how do I pay?

The cost of a Friendly Music Visit scheduled in January or February 2023 is $70 for 30 minutes. The cost of a Friendly Music Visit on December 27th is $100 for 30 minutes. Payment will be taken with the registration form online via Paypal, credit card, or Venmo. Payment must be submitted to hold your visit time.

What if I have to cancel or reschedule?

All payments are final, and I will do my best to reschedule your visit time as quickly as we can!

What information do you need on the registration form and why?

On the registration form I will get your contact information as well as your loved one's general contact information. I will ask music preferences, special requests for songs, and get a general idea of when you would like to schedule.

How far will you travel?

Friendly Music Visits can be scheduled anywhere within a 25 mile radius of New Bremen, OH.
