A Musical and Art group

musical notationWe set up a group for music and singing for adults with learning disabilities. Mainly because there were none in the area that met our needs. This was a great success as many who joined us enjoyed the musical activity and attend the weekly sessions. The details of the venue and times are as shown below.

NB We are only able to meet once a week for music at the moment. After lockdown we are trying to rebuild our group and this has taken time.

Music can facilitate:

  • attention
  • recognition
  • communication
  • anticipation
  • fine and gross motor skills
  • social skills
  • patterning (such as counting or pre-reading skills)
  • fostering memories
  • self-esteem

  1. The work performed by this group is outstanding. It is wonderful to see members developing their talents and gaining the opportunity to do this in a friendly and supportive environment. It has been a great pleasure to meet one of the group at the Cambrian Heritage Railway and see him enjoy the day while showing rapt attention and learning at the same time. Well done Yvonne and Mike for providing this great opportunity. I look forward to hearing and seeing the success of the group as it goes from strength to strength.

  2. Well done to all involved!, its great to see the members thriving in such a safe and fun learning environment. As a parent of a child with learning difficulties groups like these are vital and such a benefit to the local area.
