Interactive Music Making
Interactive music making (6 video sessions)
Interactive Music-Making (IMM) is a locally conceived approach which promotes early childhood development through targeted musical activities. IMM is widely commissioned by Children's Centres within the Royal Borough of Greenwich and has become an integral component of the Oxleas Music Therapy offer. This aspect of the service is so valued by our Children's Centres partners that they have requested that we provide video recordings of some of the activities for parents and children to be able to explore at home during this time of isolation. We also feel that this resource will also be invaluable post lock-down so that, if they want to, families can "practice" the activities between the weekly sessions held at the Children's Centres.
