Our Vision...

Music as an intrinsic part of health and social care everywhere

A long-standing patient has got great comfort from the music... it has brought a tear to my eye.

...their heart rate reduced to a level where we could happily send them home earlier.

They make the ward feel nicer and it puts a smile on your face. The music makes the day easier!

For me, it has presented a pathway into a different, very rewarding way of making music professionally.

Great interactive day. Thought provoking on how to incorporate music in care and practice. Thank you!

"Thank you so much for the music today and at the end of last year when you played for our newborn son in the Intensive Care Unit. He is now 4½ months old and he cannot go to sleep without listening to your CD. The whole family likes listening to your songs and singing along."
