Music. Prescribed

Hello, we are Music. Prescribed. We use music to create communities by giving away instruments and tuition. Our activities are funded by us (won’t cost you a penny!) and enjoyed by loads of different people. People like Mary who at 98 years old and living with sight loss has discovered a love of rock and roll. Or Sara, a refugee, who after learning just one chord on a guitar wrote a joyous song that still rattles around in our heads a year later. Or one of our younger learners, who was the shyest in her group but through guitar found the courage to create her own YouTube channel teaching everyone else what she was learning. Her parents were amazed, and so were we. When you take a load of guitars and put them in the hands of a group of strangers those strangers become friends. And when you show someone that they can when they always suspected they couldn’t self esteem rises. Music. Prescribed. is all about tackling isolation, improving confidence and working towards better mental health. We create moments of happiness, peace and the warmth of well-being that comes through learning and taking the time to work on something special, something magic, just for you.
