Bridget McCarthy – All Abilities Skills for Life and Work (Music)

I have always enjoyed singing. Since 2023, I have been part of the music program at CCG. At first, joining the class and learning new skills was nerve-racking. However, the positive group dynamics and my great teacher quickly helped me build my confidence. I’ve learned to play the keyboard and ukulele.

This program has been a life changer for me; it has improved my ability to sing in a group, play instruments, and, most importantly, perform at Christmas concerts. There is a variety of musical instruments to try, including the keyboard, ukulele, tambourine, guitar, and drums. I get to do solos and sing in a group, which is both fun and enjoyable.

Recently, I began volunteering in a different group while studying in another. I enjoy volunteering because it allows me to help other students and witness their progress. It makes me feel good, too. My goal is to turn this passion into a career and become a music teacher.

Music is therapeutic for me. It is a skill that everyone can enjoy in life.
