Without them I wouldn't have my thriving music career

“I've been part of Changing Tunes for ten years now (as a participant for four and a volunteer since). Without them I wouldn't have my thriving music career, as well as being a civil servant and director of my own company. Changing Tunes care about the individual's progress and are an essential part of that journey.”

Hear from our participants

“I’ve always wanted to become a competent musician and now I can play three instruments and I’m a much better vocalist. The band we developed through Changing Tunes means the world to me. The differences Changing Tunes have made to me are so large it's hard to quantify.”

“I’m struggling with suicidal thoughts and self-harm. But learning music with Changing Tunes moves me away from negative thoughts. The other day was the first time in six weeks I was thinking about self-harming. Instead of hurting myself I decided to play keyboard. After playing for a while the idea to hurt myself had gone away.”

“I've been participating in Changing Tunes’ post-release sessions. This has given me purpose and relief from my anxiety. My confidence is growing weekly. I’m learning valuable skills. I’ve made life-long friends. I get thrown new challenges from Changing Tunes, which gets my brain in gear and takes me away from depression. The life-changing value of Changing Tunes is incalculable!”

“Changing Tunes have helped me to set goals and achieve them.”

“It’s helped with my autism disorder by giving me confidence to work in a group.”
