The Salvation Army is set to launch a music education programme for people with learning disabilities this week.
The Music Man sessions, which start on Friday 28 February, will teach students to sing, play instruments and perform, with the aim of “building confidence, inspiring creativity, and bringing people together.”
The Histon sessions are part of a national project in Salvation Army churches across the UK, founded by disability rights campaigner and composer, David Stanley. To date, the programme has featured special events, workshops and even a performance at the Royal Albert Hall.
Community together
Major Georgina Symons, one of the leaders of The Salvation Army in Histon said: “For almost 10 years now I have been part of The Salvation Army’s enabled community and have grown to love being part of this beautiful community of people.
“I have received so much more in blessings than I could ever give. Music is a huge part of my life, and being able to share in music making in this way brings a huge smile to my face and my heart.”
Music Man sessions take place from 10.30am-12pm on Fridays at The Salvation Army, Impington Lane, Histon. The charge is £5 per session, with no charge for carers. For information or to book, call 07792 324647 or email devonhorn@icloud.com
