was a fantastic concert I was particularly impressed
with the amount of pupil participation. They were fully
involved at all times!" Abbey School, Rotherham |

| Eleanor
takes her harp into special needs
schools, residential nursing
homes and day centres
to allow people to experience live music when they can't go
to concerts. With plenty opportunities for playing the harp,
joining in with percussion instruments and singing Eleanor inspires
creativity, team work and an appreciation of many cultures through
music. |
| |
| Eleanor
owes a great deal to the Live
Music Now! scheme, on which she has performed for ten years. As Eleanor has sadly come to the end of her time working
for LMN
she will continue to be an ambassador for the scheme. It is an honour to have been part of this life-changing experience and Eleanor cites joining the scheme in 2000 as the single most important event in her career so far. |

| The
harp can be played by wheelchair bound children and adults,
elderly people, the visually impaired and those with profound
deafness. The vibrations of the strings and wood are exhilarating,
and people are surprised to find they can play a simple tune
quite easily! |

"The
concert was very well received by the audience (adults with
severe and profound learning difficulties). Eleanor's interaction
was excellent as was the choice of music."
