‘Happiness is our forte’ – Musical Moments’

Musical Moments sessions are fun, energetic, and fully accessible, involving lots of sensory props, movement, and singing – all, of course, to great music. Director Maggie says, “Music brings such joy and a sense of togetherness for people –something that we all really need.”

Every member of the Musical Moments team is passionate about the therapeutic benefits of music for groups and individuals with physical and mental disabilities, people with dementia and other conditions, as well as with care home residents. The sessions are carefully designed to be fully interactive and inclusive so as to stimulate and include everyone in the room, all while developing cognitive skills, gross and fine motor skills and increasing social interactions.

It’s not just participants who benefit from these activities – they’re also appreciated by carers, staff and family members. The pandemic has reignited public appreciation for those who’ve looked after vulnerable members of society, and the Musical Moments team are passionate about providing some light relief for caring staff, families and friends. Family members can spend time with a relative in these sessions without the pressure of conversation – instead, they can simply enjoy the activities together.

Musical Moments work with consultants including an adaptive movement specialist and a Music Therapist who endorse their sessions and ensure they provide the greatest physical and mental health benefits for their participants. All team members have full insurance, safeguarding training, and DBS checks.

Above all, the Musical Moments team cares about bringing joy to the lives of others through music – something that really strikes a chord in a postpandemic world.

Currently operating in: North Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Cheshire, Shropshire, Essex, Leeds, Liverpool and Solent areas.
