Our Mission

Our mission is simple yet powerful:

To use the universal language of music to revive memories, spark joy, and connect generations.

We believe that familiar melodies can bring peace, comfort, and dignity to seniors while also teaching youth the value of compassion, service, and human connection.

Our History

The roots of Musical Memories Project™ trace back to the teaching legacy of our Music Director, Ms. Maria DeBacco. For many years, Ms. Maria took her piano students into memory care units, where she saw how familiar music could awaken recognition, spark joy, and bring comfort to seniors.

In 2022, her student Tara Lim carried this vision forward through her senior project, giving shape and structure to what became Musical Memories Project™. What began as a heartfelt effort inspired by a teacher and her student has since grown into a registered nonprofit LLC.

Today, Musical Memories continues this legacy — bringing musicians of all ages into nursing homes, assisted living, and memory care communities to share the timeless gift of music.
