A research project carried out at Coram is demonstrating the extent to which music therapy can assist vulnerable children in developing their confidence, self-esteem and social interaction skills.The project was led by Tiffany Drake, who has been developing music therapy at Coram since 2002.
She says, 'While there has been a lot of research carried out around music therapy, no standardised tools exist. For this project I drew on tools from other studies to develop new tools specifically for this study, and I hope that in the future these may be used by other music therapists. At Coram, the challenge was evaluating the impact of music therapy across a range of ages and needs.'
