Singin’ aye aye yippee yippee aye! 🎶

There's nothing quite like the power of music to bring us all together. Absolute bottled joy at our Tony's Music group this week, bringing smiles, uplifting spirits, and (naturally) hitting all the right notes! 😊✨

Slide1: a fun graphic of a stick person with a magnifying glass, looking at music notes.
Slide 2: a practitioner is seated cross-legged on the floor, holding a guitar, with a small black dog next to them. The dog is playing the guitar strings with its paws.
Slide 3: a large whiteboard on a wheeled frame - visible behind the frame are the feet and legs of a participant, who is hiding behind the board but still rocking their legs in time to the bear.
Slide 4: a participant and a practitioner in a close shot, seated at a piano. They take turns to riff into the camera frame and are smiling and giggling.
Slide 5: a participant seated,playing a large red samba drum with great energy and rhythm. He clearly prompts and indicates to the off-camera group when it its time to stop, to cheers.
Slide 6: a graphic slide with the Hear My Music logo, and banners saying "My Sound", "More than music" and "My voice". There is a QR code with a link to a donations page.

All You Need Is....Space...
Sometimes all it takes is a little silence before the magic happens 💗

Image description:
Video 1- a participant is seated opposite a practitioner, both are playing the same tongue drum rhythmically. The practitioner is improvising around the participant's vocalisations, eventually leading to clear words emerging.
Video 2- a young child is standing opposite a practitioner, who is singing a song encouraging him to stamp his feet. After giving space and time, the child does so.
Video 3- a practitioner is playing the piano and singing. A participant in a wheelchair is sitting next to him, gradually exploring the piano keys at her own pace- she glances at the camera to affirm her choices.
