Access to musical instruments and specialist music lessons increases musical ability. Music software enables children to compose and arrange their own music, while attending concerts expands their experience of musical styles and musical performance.

A host of benefits
    Increased fluency and confidence of expression and communication 

Through music therapy sessions, children with special needs can learn how to interact with their environment and communicate with others. Specialist equipment enables profoundly disabled children to perform, compose and communicate through music.

    Greater self-confidence, self-awareness, social skills and mobility

Increased time spent practising has a positive impact on a child’s enthusiasm for music. The sense of accomplishment gained through nurturing musical ability will increase a child’s self-confidence. Attending concerts facilitates inclusion, encourages mobility, and promotes social engagement.

    Increased inclusion and participation in mainstream activities 

Increased proficiency in playing musical instruments will lead to increased opportunities for joining bands, orchestras and performing publicly. Music software also increases the opportunity for sharing music with other children and young people online and through music groups.
