Why choose WeCreate?
Creative music can reach and engage children in a fun and creative environment and have an impact that reaches into all areas of their life, giving them a sense of pride and achievement, whatever their musical ability.
A multi-media and sensory approach is very beneficial to Autistic Spectrum children, and other children who have sensory difficulties.
Songwriting and recording allows children to express their emotions, imagination and develop the musical and creative talents they already have, and build a child’s confidence.
The service could be integrated alongside English, speech and language therapy and art therapy. Children can use creative work, especially poems they have written in English, and turn them into songs. The iPad and computer software used provides transferable ICT skills.
