Singing
We do it a lot of singing with the little children
and I also do it a lot with the adults, but with the teenagers it often gets
neglected, I have to remedy that!
A cheering Sunday afternoon read from Suffolk –
‘A Suffolk teenager is setting up her own choir
to show how music can be a form of therapy for people with disabilities like
herself.
Courtney, from
Mildenhall, said: "I have cerebral palsy, which means that my speech is
slurred and my movement uncoordinated. Ever since I was a little girl I
realised that I was not the same as my friends. But I have never let my
disability hold me back."She describes herself as "extremely active" and enjoys dance, art, and wheelchair basketball, but her main love is singing.
The 16-year-old believes singing helps with speech, co-ordination and confidence and wants to show that "with or without a disability, you can still enjoy life".’
The choir is being
financially supported by a British charity called Fixers –
