Nordoff-Robbins

The Nordoff Robbins approach to music therapy was developed in the 50's and 60's and is now the basis for all of music therapy practice within the U.K., however other methods are used in other areas of the world.

The approach is improvised based utilising a range of percussive and tuned instruments to help the participants communicate and develop a greater sense of self awareness through the creative process of creating music.

The approach is varied to suit the needs of individuals or specific members within group sessions, homing in on the fact that people can relate to beat and rhythm regardless of mental and physical disability.
