Music touches our emotions deeply and music therapy is an evidence based method of enablimg those who find it hard to communicate through traditional methods to express themselves. It has a remarkable ability to enhance communication, social interaction and emotional well-being for a wide range of people.

We run 1-1 music therapy sessions for children and adults, and provide small group music therapy in the community for toddlers with communication delay in Richmond’s Children’s Centres; for children with special educational needs at Skylarks Charity;  and for adults with learning disabilities, or neurological conditions, and for elderly people and their carers. We run OK Music School, teaching children and young people with disabilities to play instruments and perform in public, OK Ukulele Group and OK Youth Choir.

We aim to make music therapy affordable for all and most of our groups are free of charge or heavily subsidised. We can provide bursaries for families on low income or benefits.
