Decades of Music, Rhythm, & Connection
in Senior Living
For more than 35 years, Cindy St. Cyr has been bringing music, joy, connection, and meaningful engagement to senior living communities. Her work has reached more than 400 senior communities, with hundreds of singing performances and drum circles presented each year.
From Entertainment to Meaningful Engagement
Cindy’s work with seniors began with live entertainment and grew from dance and variety performances into her own one-woman singing shows, themed programs, sing-alongs, jazz performances, and special events.
As she saw firsthand the powerful ways music could engage residents, spark memories, lift spirits, and bring people together, her work naturally expanded beyond entertainment into interactive music and wellness experiences.
Pioneering Senior Drumming in Houston
Cindy, with her pioneering spirit, blazed the trail in Houston for
Drumming with Seniors in 2011.
Beginning in 2011, Cindy pioneered group drumming in Houston-area senior living communities, helping introduce this work to the senior living field and educating communities about the benefits of rhythm, connection, self-expression, creativity, stress reduction, and well-being.
Her training in HealthRHYTHMS® Group Empowerment Drumming helped shape programs designed specifically for older adults and senior living settings, expanding the role of rhythm-based experiences beyond entertainment into meaningful opportunities for engagement, wellness, and connection.
Over time, her senior drumming work grew to include a variety of experiences for residents, including HealthRHYTHMS®, Sing, Drum, Play™, and creative rhythm workshops.
Supporting the Whole Senior Living Community
Team Building Drumming for Leadership & Staff
Cindy’s work has continued to grow beyond resident programming to support the people who serve them.
Today, Houston Music & Wellness Center offers rhythm-based team development for senior living leadership and staff, restorative sound-based well-being experiences, interactive resident programs, and live music entertainment—all designed to help strengthen connection, support well-being, and contribute to a more engaged and joyful community.
Whether the goal is staff development, resident engagement, stress reduction, or simply creating a memorable shared experience, Cindy brings decades of senior living experience together with music, rhythm, and a genuine understanding of the communities she serves.
