Summer is a time for exploration, creativity and new experiences. For many people, it is also a chance to step away from routine and try something enriching. Music is a powerful way to learn, connect with others and express emotions, and our summer music programme makes the most of this potential.

At Chorus Music Therapy & Education, we deliver music therapy experiences that are engaging, structured and supportive. What does that mean, what’s in it for you, and what will it be like? Read on to find out.

What Is a Summer Music Programme?

A summer music programme is a seasonal series of music-based sessions that combine learning, creativity and group participation. Unlike regular weekly lessons, a summer programme offers a more immersive and flexible experience.

Our programme focuses on active participation with no performance pressure. Sessions are designed to foster curiosity, creativity, and meaningful engagement in music through listening, playing, moving, and composing.

Activities Included in Our Summer Music Programme

One of the really exciting things about what we have planned for our summer programme is the variety of things we can do. Each session will be designed to keep you interested while also allowing room for creativity and exploration.

Interactive Group Music Sessions

Group music-making is fundamental to what we do. Through group music activities, participants can develop musical awareness of rhythm, melody, and harmony, and listen, cooperate, and communicate musically.

Exploring the Instruments

We offer opportunities to experiment with a range of instruments and sound-making tools. This may include percussion, keyboards, vocals and other accessible musical resources. The emphasis here is on being able to experiment with sound rather than the need to master a specific instrument.

Creative Composition and Improvisation

Creativity is at the heart of our summer programme, with improvising, songwriting, and sound-based storytelling being included, so imagination and self-expression are encouraged.

Listening and Response Activities

Another part of musical development is listening, and we also include guided activities for listening in the same way, where participants respond to the music in movement, discussion, or creative activities.

Reflection and Sharing

Participants will be provided with opportunities to share their creations and reflect on their experiences. This lends to supporting confidence, communication and a sense of achievement in a supportive environment.

Benefits of Joining a Summer Music Programme

Music-based programmes offer benefits that go far beyond learning notes or rhythms. Our music therapy programme is geared towards personal development, creativity, and well-being.

Builds Confidence

By participating in activities such as music-making, people can learn how to express themselves confidently. Creating and sharing music can be empowering and rewarding.

Promotes Creativity

Music is also helpful in encouraging imagination and experimentation. The participants have the liberty of exploring sound and generating new ideas through creativity.

Supports Social Interaction

Some group sessions offer ways to connect with people in common music experiences. Music-making can help strengthen communication and teamwork skills.

Enhances Wellbeing

Engaging with music offers potential emotional regulation and expression, as well as relaxation and upliftment. Music-based activities may enhance emotional regulation and overall well-being.

Maintains Learning Momentum

The summer music programme is beneficial to many students, as it enables them to sustain their learning routines over the holidays.
