"It's not that music changed my life, so much as I can't imagine life without music" - Simon Procter, our Director of Music Services at Nordoff Robbins, shares just how important music is to him and the powerful impact it can have #LifeChangingMusic

This is a fantastic charitable organisation that offers music therapy for all ages. I love reading about there great work..

Such an excellent Charity. The wonders that are achieved by people who have experienced music therapy with Nordoff Robbins is astounding. Keep up the superb work that you all perform.

Que trabalho fantástico. <3 Sempre acreditei na influencia da música na cura de todo ser humano.

Muito obrigada.

Nordoff Robbins has a truly warm and welcoming atmosphere. Its newly refurbished London centre is the perfect environment to deliver first class music therapy.

LOVE this charity, and so proud to be part of it by raising money and awareness through my own music.

Music is my therapy and I do believe it heals so many different kinds of troubles whether we are creating it, performing it or listening to it.

Inspired by amazing musicians at my first ever gig, aged 10, Nordoff Robbins has been an important guide in my life since that day at Knebworth in 1990.

I have raised money for Nordoff Robbins they are fantastically committed and energised people who bring the love of music to those less fortunate than ourselves in expressing that love. Support them when you can.

Hi, this is Mery from Spain and I just wanna to say that I enjoyed the Christmas Carol on tuesday 12th. It was the first time and hopefully not the last. What you do is amazing! Also Thank You to Brenda & Norman who wrapped me up in the q and "adopted" me while the church service! Much Love from Spain�

Great people making real changes in an area often overlooked.

Martin Sims.

Fantastic venue for music gigs. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Getting to the entrance door can be bumpy for wheelchair users. Overall, a great experience!

Fantastic especially when I represented them at YV Manchester

An truly inspiring organisation and a testament to the magic of music. Excellent work and a very worthy cause x

A truly wonderful organisation 🙏🏻 great work, helping individuals with the power of music - a beautiful environment, I can't wait to visit again 🙌Thank you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A melhor de todas as abordagens musicoterapica! Adoro música e como a música é capaz de fazer transformações

Can't understand why Jeff Lynne is not the winner of your best live act. He clearly won. This is a disgrace on yous and you should hang your head in shame. People voted but you had it all fixed. Disgusting

A great charity in the U.K. Vote for Jeff Lynne as best opening act of 2018

What a total fix - Jeff Lynne got the most votes and didn't even get a mention. Nordoff Robbins - what a rip off, you should be ashamed.

Site had a polll about best live acts and looking at the stats just before closing Jeff Lynne from ELO was the leader. Flash forward to end of poll no mention of this artist anywhere. They haven’t made a statement on this issue. Long story short poll was fixed.

I will never join in any further poll/vote after this recent, obvious con.......Jeff Lynne won the most fan votes, but he has not even had a mention in the press release. SHAME ON YOU ALL!
