The following organizations have shaped and contributed to the current vision of One Reaching Hand. From educational resources to touring opportunities, meaningful volunteering or paid gigs, we hope these might be a stepping stone for any musician on a journey to find purpose for their love of music!
Innovative leaders in health and social care are always looking for evidence-based, scalable solutions that can meaningfully improve care. Music care is a transformative approach that’s making measurable, sustainable change in care settings.
We provide music care tools, training, and certification. Our innovative music care approach has helped over 6,000 caregivers be able to provide hands-on, person-centred care for a richer care experience. We empower you to provide effective music care.
"Our unique and personalized programs offer ongoing support to patients (rockSTARS) by connecting our artist partners & team of Music Therapists and Rockologists with those in need around the world.
The patients are the rockSTARS,
we are their #1 Fans."
"We are a diverse community of creatives. Poets and musicians, artists and athletes. Advocates and activists. Performers and communicators of all kinds. Bringing more than a show. Messengers bringing more than a mantra or manifesto. The “scrap masses.” A motley crew. Often battle scarred and broken... but, as we come together, stand together, and serve together; a beautiful diversity."
"Concerts in Care Ontario brings beauty and energy to seniors in care spaces with the healing power of professional live music performances. Our musicians create moments of joy that honour the dignity and well-being of our aging audiences.
Since 2011, Concerts in Care Ontario has provided more than 3,500 concerts, touching 381,000 seniors, caregivers, and healthcare staff, creating more than 8,200 musician engagements."
"We are UK leaders in making music with people in health and social care settings and experts in playing high quality live music to connect, share culture, express emotion and enhance wellness in the people we meet.
We champion the use of music to connect and transform the lives of all people within health and social care."
