How can Soundscape sessions help: Clap your hands, tap your feet, sing out loud, dance or stomp, shout or cry. We all react to music in different ways but we all react. Music has a universal power to reach us, music affects our bodies, minds and feelings and can makes us feel different and act and think differently. Music breaks down barriers of illness or disability and enables people to literally find a voice. When people are isolated by the effects of illness, disability or trauma they often find it difficult to communicate or take part in everyday life. Music builds a bridge to social contact and research demonstrates that music-making can bring extraordinary changes and benefits. Through music we can help to:.
