What a beautiful couple of days of sunshine we have had 🌞
This time of year lifts the spirits, as Spring is in full swing and the flowers begin to grow and the world becomes visually more colourful.

We regularly connect songs to different places, people and times, supporting our memories, emotions, and connections 👉👈

📖 Some very interesting reading today!
As part of my continued professional development (CPD), reading about how music therapy is used in different settings and groups is always so informative!
