ABOUT US
Our team of music therapists is led by Camilla Farrant who founded the organisation in 2013 in Enfield, North London. We have since expanded our services to other areas of North London and offer inclusive choirs and CPD trainings to music teachers and parents. We also provide North London-based student placements to training music therapists. Our team of Music Therapists all have a Masters Degree in Music Therapy, are Health & Care Professions Council registered and DBS checked.
Our vision is to help the people who struggle most to come closer to achieving their potential through involvement in the arts. We want all vulnerable children in schools to have access to support as necessary.
