1. Select Chairs for Your Music Room in Your Empty Nest Syndrome Home
   
   Music rooms should have chairs that allow you to rest your instrument on your shoulder or lap with ease. Additional chairs are wonderful in case someone wants to listen to your practice and play. A piano bench that also holds music can save space. Be sure to have good cushions and back support for your music room chair.

   We collect musical instruments while we travel. A collection of drums, rattles and pipes can encourage young visitors like grandchildren to play along. It also helps build your understanding of how to read music.

3. Select a Room Behind A Door or Away From Others for Your Music Room in Your Empty Nest Syndrome Home
   
   A door that closes and extra air space between the room and other rooms can help dampen noise. If you're recording your music, you need extra quiet from the rest of the house.

   Lighting is important in a music room. Choose a dial light switch to allow yourself to set the mood before you start playing. Have a lamp that sits over the keyboard and floor lamps that you can set by the chairs.

   Music comes in many forms. Dance, the rippling brook, elegant snapshots of violins or a picture of Apollo can inspire the best music to come out of your soul.
