Music for all

Alternative Aspect Media

Music for all

 Musical activities (such as playing an instrument, singing or just listening to music) stimulate the brain, and this brain workout leads to improved brain structure with the formation of new neural connections. 


Now new research suggests that playing music or singing together may be particularly potent in bringing about social closeness through the release of endorphins. Coupled with the effects on endorphins, music seems to make us feel good and connect with others, perhaps particularly when we make music ourselves.


Why is music important in helping with the development of the characters of a person? Music performs this role by stimulating not only the brain and blood flow, but also the mind, body, senses, and all the other human faculties. It also reduces anxiety, high blood pressure, and pain, improves sleep, and enhances moods, motivation, mental alertness, and memory.


Our Music group is facilitated by professional and  passionate musicians who are working in the disability sector. Come and participate: no previous musical experience required only a passion to participate and enjoy. 

Clients engage in a jam session while learning the fundamentals of music, while in a supported environment. Bring your own instruments or use one provided. The music Group is a  program run on building social relationships with others whilst learning about music. No experience necessary and an easy going atmosphere guaranteed, the music program will conclude with an end of program concert.
