Learning from playing live music in a Neonatal Intensive Care unit
This project brings live harp music into the Neonatal Intensive Care unit at Gloucester Hospital (UK). We use music unusually, to help the relationships between mother and child, and to humanise the hospital environment for staff and users. The original music we create will also be available free of charge and will be used in groups for those mothers who take their children on to special needs Baby groups which encourage social and physical development.
