Musicians in Healthcare
We make music with people of all ages, from birth to end of life, giving the gift of music at a time when people can be most vulnerable, isolated and feeling low.
Our musicians are trained as Musicians in Healthcare through European partnerships led by Musique & Sante in France. We are a UK leader in Music in Healthcare practice, with over 10 years experience of making music, for and with people in care settings and at the bedside on hospital wards.
We currently work with hospitals, care and mental health settings across the UK East Midlands. Our network of Trainees, Apprentices and Associates deliver practice nationally and internationally.
