Music Therapy
What can music therapy do?
In 2010 I began to think about the wider application of music beyond the concert hall. This inspired me to study music therapy and in 2013 I graduated with a master’s degree with Nordoff Robbins (www.nordoff-robbins.org.uk) .I always remember being accepted on the course and the Course Director telling me that studying music therapy would change my relationship with music, He was absolutely right.
My Music Therapy Practice
My work has taken me into dementia care. However with other neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s, music therapy offers the same benefits. Frequently dementia patients lose verbal coherence, but enjoy singing, often remembering the words of songs. Singing for the Brain provided by the Alzheimer’s Society is described as ‘singing to bring people together in a friendly and stimulating social environment’

I particularly enjoy working as a music therapist in dementia care but am also available to work privately with individual adults and children from other client groups.
