The core of our work is about improving health using music. We were asked to return to the children’s ward to support young people and their families who are in difficult and challenging situations.
As a parent who has had to deal with having a couple of children in hospital over the years I have an understanding of how distressing it can be.
Music can help with reducing anxiety when operations and procedures are on the horizon.
Music making can play a key part in building friendships and can help cure the boredom of being stuck in hospital.
Music can in some cases aid in pain reduction by up to 40%, although a degree of knowledge and experience is needed to be successful.
The video above is of staff members experiencing a taste of what the kids had done, it is so fulfilling to see smiles on faces.
Thanks to Jill Edwards for inviting us back and we are looking forward to seeing you again on the 6th of December.
