Objectives

The Otakar Kraus Music Trust (OKMT) is a registered charity, based in Twickenham, which provides music therapy and music projects for children, young people and adults with physical, learning, neurological or psychological difficulties, in the Boroughs of Richmond, Hounslow and surrounding areas. Music touches our emotions deeply and music therapy can enable those who find it hard to communicate through traditional methods to express themselves and interact with others.

Activities

We provide Music Therapy for all ages and in schools and care homes, Music Club for babies and children, Music School and OK Youth Choir for children and young people and a ukulele group for young people with SEN too. In 2020 we provided 2500 individual and group session for over 240 clients. Our work is helping our clients to communicate, concentrate, gain confidence, develop friendships, and take part with pride in community activities.
