Thank you for your support, the continued guidance we need, and supervision on music sessions.

Our activities in India began in 2015, in Hyderabad, where our initial area of focus was to support the care and education of children and adults with learning disabilities and autism.  In 2020, we considered the ways music might help local carers for people living with dementia, which saw the launch of our online training tool a year later, called Music Helps (India).

Unlike many of the countries where we work, music therapy training courses do exist in India, but they are not widely accessible.  This does, however, give us the opportunity to work with local music therapists which is invaluable given the cultural diversity, complexity of musical traditions and number of different languages across the country.  We continue to respond to requests for introductory training when it is not possible for a local music therapist to do so and to support our Partners keep music embedded into their work.
