Amari

Amari

Amari, 13, has been taught by Music of Life drum teacher, Luca, for four years. Since we joined the local soul band, his musical and social skills have improved greatly. To the point where, when asked at the last minute to play along with the brass and woodwind section in the Christmas concert, he did so outstandingly.

Lilia

Lilia

Lilia’s musical journey with Music of Life began over 8 years ago, and it has now become an integral part of our lives. A talented musician with varied interests, Lilia has been keen to try different instruments and style of music, as well as composition and music theory.

Barney

Barney

Barney, a young percussionist with special needs, grew up through Music of Life sessions at his school and became a valued band member. Today, supported by his family and our team, he’s on a work-experience placement with us, performing proudly with our Midlands choirs.

Katherine

Katherine

Katherine is a 13-year old student attending a school with a special needs unit in Liverpool. She started her piano and drums lessons with a Music of Life teacher, Phillipa. As a direct result of the sessions, Katherine has started to overcome her anxiety associated with school, which has improved her attendance and participation.
