‘The service he provides is of the highest quality. His input has enhanced the lives of our service users and they all very much look forward to Steve’s sessions. With Steve’s contribution the service users have developed a real appreciation for music as well as developing very individual tastes.’

Rhythm & song in long term care
Everyone has something creative to share whether fully able, or needing extra support. People in long term care can benefit from sessions that become a focal point for social interaction which is a break from the usual day to day routine. They can also help people recall earlier times of happiness through participating with recognisable songs or by playing accessible instruments themselves, reminding them of how musical they maybe once were – and still are. By setting up an atmosphere of support where people feel valued, staff and family can join in with sessions on an equal basis. Sessions are used in:
-
hospices
-
care homes
-
day centres
-
hospital wards
