Expressive Sounds | Wellbeing

Expressive Sounds is a creative company that uses music, singing and song writing to address and enhance emotional well-being within schools and the general community.

We provide an opportunity to come together and express thoughts and feelings through song, as well as build confidence in using the voice and learning vocal techniques. We work with groups of all ages and abilities with an array of workshops and programmes to offer.

We collaborate with Community Interest Companies (CIC), charities, musicians and other creative professionals to provide an enriched experience for all who take part.
