Harperhall Music Therapy

Hospice Care is more than you think. Music therapy is an established service at Kilbryde Hospice. Our music therapist has been providing emotional support to our patients, family members and carers for over 12 years.

This Hospice Care Week, we wanted to share that as part of our day service programme, we collaborate with our local nursery and run an Intergenerational Music Therapy Group!

Every 2 weeks, around 8 nursery children visit our day service patients and join in with singing and movement games. The joy making music together brings for all involved is clear to see from our photos.

Some excellent listening.

In case you missed it: have you listened to any of the BBC Radio 3 series launched last week, How Music Heals? If so, what did you think?

Each episode, five in total, explores different approaches to Music Therapy in group settings.

This is a link to the first episode, and from there you can browse and listen to all five: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002jfr5

At Kilbryde Hospice, we know that healing doesn’t always come through medicine—sometimes, it comes through music.

Our Music Therapy programme helps patients:
✔️ Ease anxiety, pain, and emotional distress
✔️ Reconnect with memories and moments
✔️ Express what cannot be spoken aloud

For families, those small sparks of joy—a hum, a tear, a smile—are priceless.
Music therapy is only possible thanks to donations and legacy gifts. Will you help keep these moments alive?

A great article.

Music can uplift our mood, foster connection, and even enhance cognitive function.
