"Nicole was invited to perform for a WW II veteran who is an opera lover and who now lives in Veterans Care at Parkwood Institute.
Until she arrived, she did not know that the unit that she would be on was a dementia care unit, and that she would be performing in front of approximately twelve residents in a fairly small room.
I was so impressed - she had a lovey, gentle manner, was very friendly, and immediately engaged the guest of honour when she arrived on the unit. Realizing the ages of most of her audience (90's and up), she adjusted the sound level for those with hearing impairment, knowing that while the music needed to be heard, it shouldn't be too loud.
Her selection of music was spot on. She sang some pieces from the opera Carmen (the opera lover's favourite) and admitted that she had learned one piece just for him. She also presented some more popular tunes from The Sound of Music, Frank Sinatra, and Les Miserables, along with other music that would be familiar to that population. One resident had recently sung "Amazing Grace" at an in-house variety show, and when she heard that, she invited him to join her in singing that piece.
Nicole has a spectacular voice, and the residents in the audience were transfixed! A couple of them were openly enthusiastic, tapping their thighs in time to the music and giving a "thumbs up".
At the end, she again approached the guest of honour, who was delighted and absolutely sure she was from the Metropolitan Opera! All in all, it was a wonderfully successful event. I can hardly wait for her return."

“At the Village of Glendale Crossing, we cannot get enough of Nicole Tan and her music here! She is so flexible and has helped us out in a pinch before. Her music is so calming, jazz-like, it is perfect for a nice mellow evening or even dinner music. We have one gentleman who loves to give her gifts every time she comes because he sees her as a gift to us! She is so professional and friendly and we just love having her here. I would recommend her and her music to anyone looking for someone fun and trendy!”
