Needs From: Belmont Office of Community-Engaged Learning and Service

Classical 615 is partnering with Nashville Humane to launch a musical enrichment program for their shelter animals. Auditory enrichment can have a profound impact on the well-being of shelter animals, and they're looking for musicians who would be interested in sharing their talents to create a calming environment for these residents. 

 

Details:

 

When: Monday afternoons starting in May (timing is flexible) 

 

Time: No longer than one hour per session (approx 30-45 min of playing around the shelter)

 

Where: Nashville Humane, 213 Oceola Ave, Nashville, TN 37209

 

Who: Solo string, woodwind, vocal, and brass (if you can promise to play quietly)

Please indicate which instrument you play when you respond in Get Connected to be sure it is within shelter parameters.

Contact Kaitlyn Raitz, kaitlyn@classical615.com, to confirm your time or if you have questions.

Belmont Music Connections is a student organization that partners with Our Place Nashville to share the joy of music. Through group and one-on-one lessons, residents have the chance to explore different instruments and build their musical skills. At the same time, Belmont students gain hands-on teaching experience in a supportive environment. Everyone gets to learn, grow, and make meaningful connections through music!

 

Can you play an instrument or sing? Would you be interested in being a part of Belmont Music Connections? If so, reach out to us! If you are interested, DM us on Instagram @belmontmusicconnections OR email belmontmusicconnections@gmail.com.
