BAND for LIFE - A musical community in which everyone has a part to play

Band for Life is based on the belief that music brings people together; regardless of age, health, background, social situation, gender or ethnicity. The Project strives to create a culture of welcoming and openness through meeting and playing and sharing music together, drawing on the therapeutic effects of music making. We have found that people benefit from participating in the project regardless of their level of musical experience or skill. We aim to both understand and support people’s issues whilst focusing on what people can do and achieve.

Band for Life is facilitated by Sarah Wilson, a registered music therapist. It is one of a number of projects provided by The Methodist Church in Tower Hamlets seeking to offer hope and build communities of love within the borough.

There is a weekly Band session, on Fridays from 1.45 – 4pm, for anyone over 18 years who wants to join in, listen, or just have a cup of tea and some company. The current age range is 30 – 88yrs. You don’t have to be musically skilled to join in but equally, if you have a musical talent, we will welcome you! 
When circumstances permit and if our members want to, perform in public in informal venues and events.

 




The project meets Fridays 1.45 – 4pm at
