What it is
Bach & Boogie is a joyful music & movement class for ages 0–4, hosted inside senior living communities. This winter, we’re teaching a small group of new facilitators how to bring that magic to their own towns — through a simple, supportive cohort experience.
Who joins? Parents with young kids, retired teachers/musicians, college students, and community builders who love music and people.

See a quick example
Example: 8 families buy a $90 six-pack → $720 collected. Facilitator keeps 85% = $612.
Senior home pays $120/class × 4 → $480 total; 50/50 split → $240 to facilitator.
Flyer & Shareables
Print a flyer for cafés, libraries, and senior homes — and share the link with potential facilitators.
Tip: place flyers at the welcome desk of senior homes, the children’s section at libraries, and community boards. Add a sticky note with your city to localize it.
FAQs
Do I need to be a musician?
No. Warmth and presence matter most. We’ll show you a simple 3-minute activity you can lead each week.
How much time will this take?
December: ~1–2 hours/week to prep. Once live: ~1 hour to run class + light promotion.
Where do classes happen?
Inside a local senior living community. We’ll share scripts and approach tips for activity staff.
Can I start with a free class?
Yes — free or half-session pilots are encouraged to help new homes say yes.
Is this a franchise?
No. It’s a light annual license with shared materials and community support.
Will I need a background check?
Some homes require one. We align to each host’s policies and support you through that process when needed.
Do I need insurance?
Yes — most facilitators carry a simple general liability policy (about $200–$250/year). It protects you when working inside senior homes and is a standard part of running any class-based program. We’ll point you to easy, affordable options during onboarding.
About your host
Alex (founder & facilitator) hosts the cohort calls and shares the playbook used in Providence and Melrose, with an occasional guest visit from Melrose class leader George.
