Children and young people
(including mainstream, SEN education, alternative provision, PRUs and looked after children/young people)
We specialise in working with children and young people, especially those who are vulnerable, supporting mental health and emotional processing by
– Use musical tools to articulate thoughts and express emotions
– Nurture social interaction and communication
– Stimulate imaginative and play
– Cultivate concentration, coordination and engagement
– Heighten self-awareness and awareness of others
– Enhance self-esteem and foster resilience
Music therapy is particularly effective for children and young people who are struggling to express thoughts and feelings verbally or facing communication barriers.
