Music workshops

Vital Arts' extensive music programme provides weekly music concerts for the enjoyment of patients and staff.  Musicians from the London Symphony Orchestra, City of London Sinfonia and School of Oriental and African Studies visit young patients to deliver a variety of engaging workshops and lively performances, which offer respite and positive opportunities for patients accessing hospital treatment.

Young patients with learning disabilities are offered one to one interactive performances while those attending the hospital school can get involved in composition workshops; rewriting soundtracks for films using music software 'Garageband'.  Babies and toddlers in long term care, their families and carers are invited to attend a music group which teaches songs from around the world to engage infants and offer a fun and creative way for them to reach their developmental milestones.
