What funding category do you utilise?

How can Musicare help me achieve my goals?
Being a musician is known to aid recovery by changing our brain structures over the short term and the long term. Music is proven to improve social wellbeing by strengthening bonds with others. It also increases emotional wellbeing by elevating mood and keeping anxiety and depression at bay. If you or your client has ASD, speech delay or learning difficulties, music boosts social bonding, speech processing, and literacy skills.
