K Hones His Piano Skills - Musical Moments 2024

K enjoys exploring musical sequences during his music lessons with Cat.

‘This was such a special musical moment between Cat and K this year,’ says K’s mum. ‘It really captures their special musical relationship. What's particularly amazing about this is that K usually really struggles with attention and focus, turn-taking during social interactions, and working memory to apply to tasks... and here he is doing so well and LOVING it!

‘The Amber gift for him is more than learning lovely musical skills: it's K's key to connection, shared experience and managing a task with someone else! What an INCREDIBLE gift!

‘Cat is really able to 'get' him and connect musically on a deep level. She brings out the best in him in the moment, but what's even MORE amazing is that K often comes to the sessions pretty disregulated due to the challenges of managing his little life with SEN...and through these joyful sessions Cat is able to regulate him in a way that K can use to 'reset' himself for the rest of the week! So the sessions keep on giving through the week!

‘From the outside it just looks like pure musical magic, and as K's parents we are so, so grateful to Amber and Cat for everything. K would be a different child without these sessions, which makes me more grateful than I have words for...thank you so, so much, wishing you all a very blessed festive season!’
