“One of the young people achieved an A in National 5 Music which is the highest level of grade achieved by a young person placed here since the provision opened.
The work of MUSICARES definitely played a significant role in this. It’s really good to know that this work can continue – in Govan and everywhere else.”
— Stephen Ogston, Head Teacher, Govan High Inclusion Base
“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.”

“This has been a fantastic opportunity. It has given her something to focus on during what has been quite a difficult period in her life.
She was extremely happy to receive such positive feedback and encouragement from the MUSICARES staff. I can’t overstate how the experience of getting into the studio and the affirmation from professionals has impacted on her so positively.
This is helping her to be more confident in her abilities and willing to push herself more and try new things.”
