A musical oasis on Samsø
The establishment of the musical sensory garden has created a meaningful gathering place for the residents of the nursing home and the island's population. The sensory garden offers a colorful and inviting environment, where the musical instruments provide a setting for socializing, rehabilitation and training. The instruments have been carefully selected by Kildemosen's staff, including occupational therapists, educators and music therapists, in collaboration with Samsø Municipality and Percussion Play Denmark.
“Even though I'm not there, the children go out and play music themselves, it's fantastic!”
Lars Ginde Skov, Music and Physical Education Teacher, Østervang School.
Professional Use in the Housing Community, which is neighboring Kildemosen
Having an educational offer so close to the Community makes it accessible and possible in everyday life, where the citizen's daily routine changes and attendance at the Community varies. It is also a really nice supplement to other activities in the city (Tarzan track, outdoor training equipment at Sambiosen). The instruments give an extra dimension.
