Interesting idea, that last one, Susan. Most places I know of don't have much spare room for activities that don't involve the residents as a group, and if it's staff members who want lessons, they're usually on duty at the times I'd be there.

I would say, though, that pianists, barbershop quartets, folk groups, etc., sometimes rehearse in the living or dining rooms of senior facilities, without charging a fee. The performer(s) get(s) rehearsal space and the facility gets free entertainment. This can be a win-win. It can also serve as publicity for the performer(s).
