What our community musicians say

“Working in the community as a Community Musician is truly valuable because it connects people through shared creativity and expression. Singing and making music together strengthens a sense of belonging, builds confidence, and creates joy for both participants and myself!

It supports wellbeing by reducing stress, lifting mood and promoting empathy. The social side of working in the community brings people of all backgrounds together, helping to form friendships and preventing social isolation.”
