Sessions occur in both group and one-to-one sessions, providing a space to develop independence, concentration and social and self-awareness in a playful and intrinsically interactive way. A wide range of musical instruments, including the voice, are used to encourage active engagement in shared music making. Both known and improvised music can offer the chance to encourage a child’s natural creativity and opportunity for spontaneous play, as well as supporting communication, listening and motor skills.
The service is run in collaboration with Nordoff and Robins, the largest independent music charity in the UK. All their therapists are trained to masters level and engage in continual professional development. Our music therapist, Kylie, has over 10 years of experience working with people with additional needs.
