Music therapy at Millbank Academy

In line with government guidance, we are delighted that our music therapy sessions on Saturday 8th May will begin again in person at:

Millbank Academy, Erasmus Street, London SW1P 4HR

We are looking forward to seeing you all and making music together. For everyone's safety, we must follow these Covid-secure measures: 

• Places are limited and families must pre-book in order to attend
• Strict social distancing at all times
• Hand sanitizing upon arrival and after sessions
• Parents/carers and children over 11 years old must wear masks
• Therapists must wear visors
• Details will be taken for Track and Trace purposes
• Equipment and surfaces will be cleaned before and after sessions
• No sharing of instruments

Due to social distancing, there is only space for one child with special needs and one adult/carer per family. We will look at individual circumstances if necessary. Regular members will be prioritised.
 
Please only book if you definitely intend to come. Please always let us know if your situation changes and you are no longer able to attend, so that the place can be offered to someone on the waiting list.

We thank you in advance for your co-operation with the Covid measures.
