My story
Bootham School musicians are raising money for Jessie's Fund by committing to a practice regime for two weeks. I'm aiming to practise the viola (not my main instrument!) for 90 minutes every day. Please give as much as you can for this fantastic charity.
Jessie's Fund is a UK charity helping seriously ill and disabled children by using music for communication and for therapy.
Music therapy uses music to encourage communication and expression by playing an instrument, singing or listening, usually in improvised music. It isn't about learning to play an instrument; the instruments offered can all be played intuitively.
Within the therapeutic relationship there is a safe setting in which difficult or repressed feelings can be expressed and contained. Where words are inadequate (or even impossible), music can often make sense. In the restricted world of a seriously ill child, music therapy focuses on what she/he can do, gives choices and control, and raises self-esteem.
(Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.)

Wonderful cause, Susie! Good luck with the self-inflicted torture [*heavily ironic tone*]. Hope that the job is going well too..
