THE RHYTHM STUDIO FOUNDATION HOSPITAL WORKSHOPS
The Rhythm Studio Foundation finances a program of inspirational fortnightly music workshops for children on the paediatric wards of Chelsea & Westminster Hospital and St Mary's Hospital in Paddington. With music-making, singing, drumming and dancing, we help develop a community feeling on the wards and a happier environment for young patients and their parents.
“As children become hospitalised they could regress very quickly. They lose interest in their environment, socialising and become non-verbal. The Rhythm Studio Foundation has changed the lives of these patients. I have witnessed smiles, singing and playing along with the musical instruments, Family members are asking when “the music therapy ladies will be coming” in such enthusiastic voices, this lessening the anxiety that families are feeling.”
“The thing I love most about the music workshops is how often it brings children’s and families together. Often, a family may come and have a look at the music happening by the bedside next to them and before you know it, there are two families and two sets of children who may never have met properly, singing and dancing together!”
