Retirement is Just Another Word for ‘Getting Started’

Retirement is Just Another Word for ‘Getting Started’

Take LIFE for instance. LIFE (Lowrey Is Fun and Easy) is Lowrey’s international music making organization that supports our music makers in their hobby. LIFE is a channel for Lowrey owners to thrive and explore beyond music. We’ve created a ‘music making lifestyle’ that provides an opportunity for our class members to help support their communities through LIFE sponsored volunteer activities.

LIFE is the nation’s largest music making club with over 2500 members, 60 Chapters, and is represented in 5 countries. The group offers those that either haven’t played in decades, or those that have never played before, the opportunity to do much more than simply work the keyboard. LIFE Members are active in national volunteer efforts – such as the ‘We Have A Voice’ campaign in which Members (over a 3 month period) wrote to local, state, and federal officials in an appeal to increase funding and curriculum support in schools nationwide through support of House Concurrent Resolution 355. The Resolution passed and was an example of LIFE Members desire to demonstrate that music spans all generations.

LIFEer’s as they call themselves, are after more than just taking up a hobby like the previous generation of retirees.  They seek ways in which to improve the world, at least a small part of it, or themselves, through adventure, experience, and self-actualization. On that ‘note’, Members have helped raise almost $100K for various local and national charities such as ‘Homes For Our Troops’ and ‘The Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation’.

LIFE Members regularly support their own communities by playing ‘concerts’ for local senior and wellness centers, and more.

“The social part of making music isn’t why you first come to class, but it’s a big reason why you stay,” says Dennis Kaplan, Chapter President of LIFE. “We’re family now – we know everything about each other’s lives, we watch out for one another, travel together and learn together. None of us expected to be so involved socially, and we don’t all have the same tastes in music, but making music comes with added perks – a happier state of mind, new friends, a social calendar and occasionally a bit of ‘romance’ – a few of our folks have even met and married in classes.”

For Lowrey music makers ‘retirement’ is just another word for ‘getting started’.

Why Let The Grand Kids Have All The Fun?

Why Let The Grand Kids Have All The Fun?

If you’ve ever witnessed 800 retirees in a room acting like teenagers, you’ve been to Lowrey’s Home Organ Holiday. Literally taking over a hotel for three days of singing, laughing, hula hoop contests, line dancing, swaying to the music, eating, drinking, buying t-shirts – you’d think you were at a rock festival.

It just goes to show that Recreational Music Making is about more than hitting the right note – in fact, that’s often 3rd or 4th down the list. Of course, our music makers want to learn and improve, but once they take a few classes, they quickly discover there is so much more to the ‘lifestyle’.
