Baby Bird’s Journey
Spitalfields Music
Musicians from Spitalfields Music spent a 3 months visiting neonatal babies and infants in long term care at the Royal London.
Working alongside Play Specialists, Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists, weekly singing and movement workshops were held for infants and their parents to encourage infants to reach their language and developmental milestones.
With the help of families and hospital staff, musicians devised the story and songs of a baby bird learning to fly, using songs and rhymes from all corners of the world.
Outcomes and evaluation
All families and hospital staff involved received a CD of the story and songs for participants. INK Illustration‘s Rachel Gannon illustrated the story book as a resource to accompany the CD.
