Steve and I attended a singing café in Welwyn Garden City and saw the joy the music making brought to the clients and carers. We were very impressed by the dedication and care of Graeme, the lead music therapist and of all the staff. Singing has given me so much pleasure throughout my life. It has opened doors to friendships, kept me calm during stressful times and given me exciting opportunities that I would otherwise not have had. I believe in the therapeutic effects of music and want to help Music24 make a difference.
