REWRITE TOMORROW
.

How do I get started?

Music can help in many ways to improve quality of life and the following may help you to explore opportunities to their fullest:

  • listen to a variety of different types music and find those which most stimulate and uplift you and aid movement.  Be patient if this takes time
  • contact local groups, especially those run by trained music therapists
  • turn to music if you feel stress levels rising or if you want to induce sleep
  • go to concerts to explore new music and build on your experiences
  • find music you like to sing along to help keep your voice strong
  • build up a collection of music that helps you recall happy memories
  • practice at home techniques or activities you learn in groups.  Many have a ‘carry over’ effect so the benefits can be felt beyond the period of activity in the session

Important!

If using headphones to listen to music when out and about, be careful not to be distracted when near roads or busy places.
