我們服務對象
我們跟隨您的心聲、動機和願景
我們最初專注於兒童作為主要服務對象,但我們的慈善機構已經發展到服務各個年齡層的個人,不論是否有殘疾。我們相信,每個人都是我們社會的不可或缺的一部分,並且都有潛力成為積極的公民。
這一成長得到了我們敬業的志願者和慷慨捐助者所創造的機會的支持。
我們與香港耀能協會、香港青年協會、聖公會、社區組織協會、金融女性及其他許多組織的合作,都是從個別志願者的熱情開始的。這些志願者是我們慈善機構的使者,幫助我們塑造未來的道路。
我們識別出那些能夠受益於竪琴課程、音樂培訓或享受現場演出的人——無論是為了兒童的發展、成人的療癒還是康復。通過將這些值得的人與我們多樣化的音樂項目連接起來,我們親眼見證了這對他們生活所產生的深遠積極影響。
雖然一些志願者可能會在特定的項目中貢獻一段時間後轉向其他承諾,但也有些志願者堅定地支持我們的倡議將近20年。
每一份貢獻對我們慈善機構的可持續發展都至關重要。
每一點支持都是我們受益者的祝福。

*References - The Power of Music:
In today's world, the benefits of music education and musical activities are widely recognized. A substantial body of academic research supports these benefits. For example, Michael Polanyi's study on tacit knowledge has shed light on the cognitive and developmental advantages of music learning (Polanyi, M. (1966). The Tacit Dimension).
Here, we present three reference studies, including one co-investigated by the late harpist Carrol McLaughlin:
1) Blacking, J. (1976). How musical is man? London: Faber
SOCIAL INTEGRATION: Public music serves as a medium that allows people to share experiences, transcend class, forge bonds, and relate to one another as part of a boarder social group.
2) Sloboda, J. (2005). Exploring the musical mind: cognition, emotion, ability, function London: Oxford University Press
MUSIC LEARNING: As pupils engage with music, they transition from an implicit, highly abstract form of knowledge - a receptive expertise - towards more concrete and tangible understandings. This progression is the initial steps towards developing productive expertise in all areas of learning.

MUSIC HEALING: This study examined the impact of live relaxing harp music on ICU patients' pain, anxiety, and muscle tension after emergency admission. It found that live harp music reduced patients' pain perception by 27%, though it didn't significantly affect vital signs like heart rate and oxygen levels. The findings suggest that live harp music can be a useful, non-invasive method for pain relief in ICU patients.
