New Nottingham music initiative to help adults with learning difficulties | West Bridgford Wire

"For the first time, the Nottinghamshire-based charity Music for Everyone – is to hold a series of singing sessions for adults with learning difficulties" continues WBWire.

“Music for Everyone” has teamed up with two other local charities – Southwell-based Reach UK and Sherwood’s Open Wings. They already have long experience of helping adults with learning difficulties and their carers.

The first “Open Voices” event is being held this Friday (Sept 29) at St Martin’s Church, Trevose Gardens, Sherwood, Nottingham, from 1000am – 12noon.
 
“The idea is to provide specially designed singing sessions for adults with learning difficulties,” said Angela Kay, Music for Everyone’s Artistic Director.
 
“Singing in a group can have a real positive impact for well-being, and we are delighted to be pioneering this approach.

“The music chosen will be varied with everything from pop songs to some of the classics. Our ambition is to create a whole network of Open Voices groups throughout Nottinghamshire”, added Angela.
