Delivering innovative music projects to improve the quality of life
for the disabled, vulnerable and marginalised people of Cornwall. advancing health, wellbeing and providing a future of hope, happiness, friendships and life skills.
Bandwagon offers a series of immersive, fully inclusive and innovative music based activities and projects delivered directly to those in need wherever they are in Cornwall. Our music sessions have been specifically designed to help and empower participants to face and overcome their individual challenges with the help of specialist equipment and the skills of our experienced practitioners.
Cornwall is undoubtedly a very beautiful part of the country, the holiday destination for millions each year. Although beyond the sandy beaches lies a darker story full of unique social problems.
These issues arise from factors such as a high child poverty rate and areas within Cornwall ranking among the 10% most deprived in the whole of the UK as well as among the 50 poorest regions in Europe.
Unfortunately it is often the most vulnerable who suffer the most when finances are tight and Council spending is cut. Isolation is a problem for many, mainly due to a rural region but compounded by a weak and fragmented transportation infrastructure, leaving the vulnerable and disabled unable to access services and socialise, therefore trapped where they live.
Music has a truly transformative power. It especially brings people together, lifting their spirits, and improving their quality of life. It can also be a source of comfort, joy and motivation, providing a much needed escape from the challenges and limitations of the everyday, and helping people to connect with others and the world around them, alleviating social isolation.
It provides a platform for advancing skills, wellbeing and at the same time encourages a strong desire to achieve - which forms the basis for future success and fulfilment.

All of our music sessions have been specifically designed to be accessible to all, through multi-level engagement and specialist equipment which allows us to tailor our activities to benefit users with a wide range of disabilities and health issues.

Musical instruments, both electronic and traditional and specialist equipment, provide non verbal cues and gestures, allowing all to communicate through them together.

It is often easier for people to express themselves through music as it breaks down communication barriers and can uncovers hidden creativity.

Our music sessions have been found to have a positive impact on mood and emotional regulation, releasing endorphins in the brain leading to feelings of happiness and well-being.
Our activities can provide a sense of accomplishment and boost self-esteem, providing a way to communicate emotions and thoughts. This is a powerful tool for promoting emotional well-being, managing stress, anxiety, and depression.

Encouraging people to engage in group activities, fosters a sense of community and belonging.
This can lead to better communication and teamwork skills, as well as a boost in self-confidence and self-esteem. Individuals can develop relationships and make new friends, increasing socialisation and a wider support network long term.

A series of multi sensory music sessions, taking participants on an exciting musical journey, discovering the many amazing ways they can use different sounds to make music. Sound Safaris include vocal groups, sound baths and instrumental workshops, which feature a wide range of accessible electronic equipment.
These sessions are often people’s first taste of playing music and therefore by making it a fun and memorable experience, we remove their fears and inhibitions, by interacting with others in a way that suits the individual, opening them up to exploring their creativity.
