Music and Health projects

Our Music and health initiatives are designed to bring the benefits of music to as many people as possible. They are particularly aimed at those who might find it difficult to access music without tailored and sensitively delivered music services. Through our music and health initiatives, we aim to:

  • bring a broader range of musical opportunities to more people through flexible short-term projects.
  • provide a bridge between music therapy and other musical activities in the community. This helps many who have benefited from music therapy to engage in other forms of music-making – for example learning an instrument, singing in a local choir, creating and recording music.
  • help carers, teachers, nurses and other professionals develop skills for using music to enhance people’s lives. This is provided through training based on Nordoff Robbins core principles.
