Creating Joy Through Live Music
“A girl with severe learning disabilities placed her lips on the harp strings so that she could feel the vibrations. It was quite magical to see how her face lit up!”
Music in Hospitals
Physical and Learning Disabilities
Music has a fundamental connection with our physical being and its healing force is an ancient one. A live music performance can provide a pathway for an individual to develop new capacities, whatever their disability. The objective elements of music make connections to the way a person feels and hears, reaching inner depths no other activity can ever penetrate.
Our experienced musicians use a wide variety of musical styles and instruments to captivate their audience and encourage participation through singing along, clapping, dancing or joining in with percussion. The music, sound, colour and movement that are typical of a Music in Hospitals performance help to stimulate or soothe, invigorate or relax, bringing comfort to the mind, body and spirit.
The concerts are also great social occasions and often hidden talents emerge which help staff gain further insights into those in their care.
