The promotion of sustainable community cohesion through the power of music.

Bringing participatory music to groups of people of all ages. This service is offered to Community/Learning centres, Nursing and Care homes.

While any groups with more than 5 individuals are welcome to enquire, the main focus of this opportunity is working with vulnerable individuals who would greatly benefit from musical support. Music facilitation re-establishes harmony physically, mentally, emotionally and socially, bringing a unique method of community cohesion to promote welbeing on the social level.

Blance Therapy is utilising this opportunity to research the therapy of music in children and the elderly... taking the following thoughts into consideration...

...Music is what feelings sound like.

In twentieth-century society, the noise level is such that it keeps knocking our bodies out of tune and out of their natural rhythms. This ever-increasing assault of sound upon our ears, minds, and bodies adds to the stress load of civilized beings trying to live in a highly complex environment.

Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.
Author: Frank Zappa

If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.

Joy, sorrow, tears, lamentation, laughter — to all these music gives voice, but in such a way that we are transported from the world of unrest to a world of peace, and see reality in a new way, as if we were sitting by a mountain lake and contemplating hills and woods and clouds in the tranquil and fathomless water.

Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom.
Author: Charlie Parker

Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.

True music must repeat the thought and inspirations of the people and the time.
Author: George Gershwin

We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of the dream. Wandering by lone sea breakers, and sitting by desolate streams. World losers and world forsakers, for whom the pale moon gleams. Yet we are movers and the shakers of the world forever it seems
