To many, making music suggests a luxury pastime, a ‘nice to have’. To the children in our programmes, making music is a necessity, a life line. Since 2003, our work has strengthened our belief that music offers alternatives.
Creative Resilience
Developed specifically to assist in the nurturing of RESILIENCE in children, this programme takes place during the school year over a period of 10 months within the classroom setting as part of the Life Orientation curriculum. The four pillars of the programme incorporate the Circle of Courage model; independence, generosity, mastery and belonging.
Music Therapy
One-on-one or group-based sessions provide children with much needed clinical interventions. Music Therapy gives a voice to the unheard and unhealed experience, and assists the remedial process.
