Sound Sense :: the UK professional association for community musicians

Sounding Board special edition: Arts & Health

Our call out to Sound Sense members for arts & health submissions mustered an incredible response leading to a vibrant, informative and practical June edition of Sounding Board. This edition clearly showcases the diverse, creative and skilful ways our community musician members use music to promote health and wellbeing.

In this issue, Thea Jacob reviews the new Power of Music report, explaining England's Integrated Care Systems and providing pathways to action for community musicians to raise the profile of music for health work. We also hear from More Music, Soundcastle, Bristol Beacon and Comhaltas in Britain about their arts & health programmes, social prescribing and cross-sector partnership working... and much more!
