Do go along and support Emily if you would enjoy singing the Rutter Requiem -all in a good cause too!

Finally, some statistical analysis to confirm what we all know to be true! Let's hope this is recognised nationally very soon.

A report published today by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Arts, Health and Wellbeing shows how powerful the arts are in helping people to recover from illness and keep well.

Here is the last outing for the Canterbury Skylarks before the summer break, joined by students from Simon Langton Boys School . Thank you to all involved, wishing you all a good summer.

What another amazing day! We had a fantastic time with the Skylarks at the Beaney, singing together to beat Parkinson's. Looking forward to further developing our links and relationships in September.

Lovely to see this involvement from the brilliant music department at Simon Langton Boys -I am sure they will have a great session.

Many of you will know about our previous work with the Skylarks (music group for People coping with Parkinson's) and may have read Jacob Turner-Dore's research on the benefits of singing with relation to Parkinson's. To this end, I am arranging an end of academic year visit to work with the Skylarks on Tuesday 18th July. We will be leaving school at 13:45 and will return to school by 15:45. If you feel that you would like to get involved with this project and have a song or musical activity that you could share with the group, please let me know ASAP. I will be able to transport you to and from St. Paul's Church Hall in Canterbury. This is open to anyone, not just the people I have managed to tag. I only have 6 spaces in my car, but you can always make your own way down if you are Sixth-Form! ... See more
