Case studies include a woman from St Kitts and her song ''The Sun in the Sea'' and a man from the Black Country''s song ''My Working Life''. Group therapeutic music sessions for older adults in hospitals and residential homes. Using a personalised approach and treating each person as an individual with unique musical tastes, likes and dislikes. Sessions include singing, percussion playing, movement, relaxation and spontaneous performance. PRIMARY SCHOOLS: Children can learn to be a word spy or a sound collector, a rhythm magician or a voice painter, a song-maker or a poet with a rainstick. Fun and curriculum-centred sound activities. Projects include a school where pupils made songs & compositions related to the curriculum about the skeleton, the Victorians, rivers and the stages of life. In another project students were assisted to write a song celebrating 30 years of the school. The song became the school anthem!
