About Melodies and Memories
We transform the power of music into meaningful therapeutic experiences for seniors, one performance at a time.
Our Story
Melodies and Memories by WHOOPE Entertainment was born from a simple observation: when seniors hear songs from their youth, something magical happens. Memories awaken, smiles appear, and connections form.
Our founder, an accomplished musician, spent years performing in nursing homes and witnessed firsthand how music could reach residents in ways that nothing else could—even those with advanced dementia would suddenly remember every word to their favorite song.
Today, we've transformed that personal passion into a scalable, professional music therapy program. By combining trained singers with professionally curated backing tracks, we deliver consistent, high-quality performances that bring joy and therapeutic benefits to senior living communities across New Mexico and beyond.
Our Mission
To spark memories, awaken joy, and enrich the lives of nursing home residents and their guests through music—transforming entertainment into meaningful therapeutic experiences.
Our Vision
To become the most trusted provider of nostalgic music therapy entertainment for senior living communities nationwide—blending performance, therapy, and compassion to improve emotional well-being.
Our Values
- • Compassion: Treating every resident with warmth and respect
- • Consistency: Delivering reliable, professional shows
- • Quality: Maintaining the highest performance standards
- • Purpose: Creating meaningful therapeutic impact
