Music Therapy Instruments
When we think of the great outdoors we don't often think of it alongside music therapy. But maybe we should....
Freenotes outdoor musical instruments are perfect for outdoor music therapy sessions which encourage individuals to use music to deal with emotional issues, especially when they are unable to express them through speech. Where words fail, music may be a medium through which to explore one's inner world and experiences.
The playing of good quality percussion instruments during music therapy sessions can be of inestimable value for individuals who have difficulties in hearing, seeing, moving, thinking or responding; each can experience music in their own unique way. Creating soothing sounds, encouraging self-expression, improving cognitive skills whilst supporting social interactions, Freenotes engage their senses whilst having a little fun - an invitation to experience the outdoors in a new and fascinating way. See our range of Outdoor Musical Instruments for School Playgrounds, hospices, care homes or sensory gardens.
Freenotes outdoor musical instruments are tuned to the pentatonic scale making playing effortless as the notes within the scale all harmonise with one another, so there are no discordant notes, compelling even the non-musical to pick up a mallet and play, producing new and original melodies each time. Each have been carefully designed to ensure the instruments can accommodate wheelchair users and therefore encourage more outdoor living and greater physical activity.
