With a fully furnished music room and a State Registered Music Therapist, we’re able to provide music therapy to help our babies, children, young people and siblings express their emotions and feelings in a therapeutic and supportive setting. Our music room is not only stocked with traditional instruments including drums, guitars and pianos, but it also includes technology to allow any child , whatever their ability, to make music using sensors and motion detectors.

Our Music Therapist, is passionate about using music as a tactile medium where the vibroacoustics of instruments can be used to stimulate, relax and engage babies, children and young people as part of the session. Music can be a powerful tool in both physical and emotional expression and has a huge role within pain management, physiotherapy and respiratory programmes.

Our Music Therapist facilitates sessions to happen around the Hospice in the bedrooms, main lounges as well as in the music room. They have even been known to take instruments into the pool for a fully interactive session!

Music Therapy can also be brought to babies, children and young people at home for some additional support in the community as part of the outreach service. Additionally, our Music Therapist visits the major hospital sites for monthly visits to bring the Rainbows experience to those babies, children and young people on the wards who are known to the our services.
