About Sally Greenwell
I am a qualified music therapist with a passion for creativity, inclusion and community. Since qualifying in 2010, I've worked extensively with additional needs, autism and behavioural difficulties using music as a theraputic and expressive tool. I sent six years establishing and running Ocean Arts Cardiff, an inclusive community centre, where I lead choirs and delivered workshop, ran a licensed bar and curated and managed events. In that time I created and delivered a unique multi-sensory program for adults with complex needs designed to engage and uplift through sound, movement and interaction. My work is grounded in compassion, experience and a deep belief in the power of the arts to bring people together. I am also a classically trained viola player having studied at Birmingham conservatoire and am available for live or recorded projects.
