WHAT PEOPLE SAY.
“the service from musicares has been excellent for our young people. The individualised and thoughtful approach to what young people will benefit from, considering their strengths and interest and then tailoring sessions to what they would benefit from has been much appreciated.
We have young people engaging with music sessions when other activities have been too overwhelming. We have benefitted from a responsive and engaging tutor and the young people have really enjoyed the sessions. In working with young people to support their mental health recovery we have recognised the importance of using creative modalities to enable them to work on their strengths or discover new talents enhancing their wellbeing and occupation”.
“The young people who have participated in the MUSICARES sessions have really enjoyed themselves and learned a lot. Parents have reported a real interest in their child’s desire to write their own songs and stories, which they have shared with the tutors. There has been a notable development of self-esteem and pride in what they have worked on and achieved. The experience of being taken seriously and valued for what they created together, by the tutors has given the young people confidence to believe they are creative and can play instruments/write songs”.

“The way that the MUSICARES tutor was able to get all of the young people playing together despite varying levels of ability was great. I could see the benefits it had to their self-esteem through attending the workshops”.
