With a lot of businesses moving to online, YouTube is a great way to participate with music and activities during lockdown when face-to-face is not available.

Customised videos are created to work on specific goals and allow a tailored approach to interact and participate in the family home. The videos allow the participant to engage at their own pace and to repeat sections.

These specially created videos allow participants to continue working on their goals, and keep them engaged.

The videos are sent via email with simple instructions and includes links to the videos.

This month’s newsletter is about how music can be a motivator for
movement improvisation.
Use music to encourage and move the body in any way you can. Moving legs, arms and a whole body experience.

May Newsletter
Hi everyone,
I hope you’re all doing well and being safe in this uncertain and unpredictable time.
This month’s newsletter is focusing on mindfulness, which we can all benefit from at a time like this.
It assists in grounding and to refrain from the impulse to be doing something or being productive all the time.
I hope that everyone is coping well and adjusting to this current situation we are in.
I look forward to being able to see you all soon and get back to doing lots of fun musical activities, sooner rather than later, which seems to be the trajectory we are going towards.
Stay safe and hopefully see you real soon.
Wade
