Could we be about to form our own ,Thai version ,Von Trapp family? I doubt it, but music will definitely feature high on our agenda after a very successful, impromptu session last weekend.
I have played the flute for many years now, mostly for my own meditation. On Sunday I woke up in the mood to play a little in my room. Suddenly I heard the sound of our congas being played and then the Kan, and then the circular pan pipes. When I went to investigate I found the 3 boys playing a way and making quite an acceptable sound. I was especially pleased to see Jack playing the congas. He was holding a good beat and the other boys were following his lead.
Jack has some problems in many aspects so life so I was so happy to see a natural ability show through and will be doing my best to introduce regular music therapy into his routine.
Well things are just about all ready at Stratton House Childrens Home. Just in time for the arrival of our first placements next weekend. The last week has seen us busy sorting out the kitchen/ dining area, the last big job before we could get started.
Maybe the colourful dining area made him feel at home.
