“It was truly amazing to see how engaged and involved he was…I have never seen him as engaged in the classroom setting as he is during these sessions.”
“My 7 year old daughter absolutely loves attending her Saturday Music Therapy sessions in Ealing. She leaves every session visibly happier and calmer.“

I noticed how much more eye contact she was giving and her overall demeaner was relaxed and happy. She especially liked making different sounds into the microphone and watching my mouth when I was talking to her. I personally feel she gained so much from the sessions and blossomed with confidence.”

“The pair-work focus in Music Therapy really had a positive impact. One pupil tended to struggle with sharing adult attention or resources. Initially, she became upset by another pupil’s presence. However, over the sessions, she allowed her peer to use the same resources and engage in the same songs. Remarkably, the two began to form a positive friendship outside of the Music Therapy sessions – something we had not seen before.”
“Since starting Music Therapy, Emma seems less anxious and stressed. She’s more confident joining in with musical activities, which has helped her feel calmer, engage better in class and connect more with other students.”
Teacher, Belvue High School
“Music Therapy has enabled pupils to develop a positive relationship and interactions with their therapy partner, increase vocalisations and gain confidence within self, and develop some stability with their emotional and physical wellbeing.”
“There has been noticeable impact just on his behaviour… he is able to be calmer and more focused in class and we do feel this has been a direct result of the work that has gone on through Music Therapy… his ability to work through difficulties, emotions, talking through things that happened now and in the past.”
“I think it is really clear how much the children enjoy Music Therapy. If you have got children who are enjoying what they do, then you’ve got children who are engaged and if they are engaged then they’re regulated, happy, learning and they’re connecting. At Springhallow we focus a lot on making connections.”
“The ‘Find Your Voice’ group provided a safe and predictable environment for the pupils to explore and develop their communication skills. It enabled pupils to develop their observation and awareness of one another, explore singing and grow in confidence.”
