Hi everyone! 👋

I will holding a woodland music and sensory session on Friday 30th August for little ones aged 0-4yrs and their families 🌳 🎶

Spaces MUST be booked in advance so please drop me a DM/email/whatsapp/call if would like to come along!

I had the privilege of attending the launch of the brand new The Silverlining Charity book The Woodland Friends a couple of weeks ago!

This book was written by adults with an acquired brain injury, for children who have an acquired brain injury. The adults all attend the various groups the charity organises, and it was amazing to meet some of the people I've only ever seen on a zoom screen for our weekly music therapy group.

What an incredible group of people and thank you for inviting me to this special event! 💜 📖

Today I had the pleasure of providing music at the SNAP Charity Teddy Bears Picnic for their pre-school aged children. The families had lots of fun with their teddies and we had some fantastic drumming and musical exploration as well as finishing with a musical parachute and bubbles!

Please get in touch if you would like a music therapist at your party or event! Music can provide opportunities for everyone to join in the fun in their own way 🎶💜🎉

What a lovely and busy week to finish on before Christmas - it's been a big year! 🎄🎅🎁🌟

A wonderful session with Oscar and his friends, a special livestream with SNAP Charity on Friday, fantastic Christmas songs and instruments with the guys at BOSP - Brighter Opportunities for Special People, all topped off with a wonderful Friendship Group on Saturday!
A huge thank you to everyone over the last year, being on maternity leave and making the return back has been amazing and I am looking forward to what the new year to has to bring!
But for now... Merry Christmas and I hope you all have a lovely, restful and musical holiday 😊 💜🎶🎄🌟❄️

What an amazing time we had at our Christmas Music and Sensory Session!
🙌🏼🎄🎉🎶❄️
Lots of sensory experiences to try including different wet and dry messy play, a chill out light tent and a snowy area! All finished off with a festive music session exploring the instruments, not forgetting our 'Christmas pudding parachute'!
Thank you to everyone who joined us... watch this space for future sessions!! 🎶💜🎶

EGMT will be hosting an inclusive Christmas music session incorporating live music with real instruments along with some great sensory experiences for under 5s.

Happy 50th Birthday Marie!

For most of us, the world has returned to 'normal', whatever that looked like! But for others, the world continues to remain a closed space, especially with so many coughs and colds around.

Maisy loves her music therapy sessions offering her chances to communicate, vocalise and connect with others.
Online sessions continue to offer her those opportunities when the world around her becomes small - connection and communication should be a right, not a privilege!

Excited to be able to share with you all the wonderful song written by the members of our music therapy group at The Silverlining Charity.

The song highlights just how special the charity is and what it means to their members 💜

All of the lyrics were written by the members themselves and as I think you'll agree, are so so powerful 🎶🥰

This is just a clip, so please do click the link to view the full video!

After our last music therapy group for the term at BOSP - Brighter Opportunities for Special People (yes... in 39° heat!!) I decided to go for a little wander through the trees and fields to connect myself with music and nature.
The steel tongue drum is so peaceful and tranquil, it takes you to another place! 🎶

As we know, Music Therapy can support in so many different ways! 🎶💜
My lovely friends at Nordoff Robbins have created this post which highlights some of them!

Ever wondered what happens in a music therapy session? 🤔 Music Therapy benefits many people with a range of disabilities or illnesses. These are a few ways these sessions help those in need 💜
