Ada lost a leg in the war and nearly lost the other, but doctors were able to save it. Thanks to Victory Beats music therapy at the Superhumans Center, she has been able to pursue her passion for drumming, which in turn has also helped with the rehabilitation of her leg. In this video, she shares her impressions, thoughts, and plans for the future.
Oleksandr Ivanko — The First
Oleksandr Ivanko is a veteran of the war in Ukraine. He always dreamed of trying his hand at DJing. One day, after relaxation therapy, he “for fun” moved the crossfader on the console from one stolon to another and everything went crazy… After that, courses with Vlad Fisunstarted, after some time, Sasha himself showed new participants the basics, then – b2b playing, playing on vinyl, and, finally, the first public set, which was played at a special retreat for veterans’ families in the Carpathians. Classic trance, full of waves of energy and comfort.
Congratulations to Oleksandr on his first release – there are still many more to come! And Victory Beats has a great achievement in its music collection! Enjoy

Therapeutic playing of musical instruments
Playing musical instruments significantly improves memory, reduces stress and anxiety, helps with physical rehabilitation, and greatly boosts overall mood. Our instruments are available to everyone, and the classes are led by some of the best musicians in Ukraine. The sessions are designed so that visitors can continue practicing even after being discharged from the rehabilitation center.
Therapeutic music playing is not a school or an exam. The methodology is designed to make the process engaging, even (and especially) for those who have never held an instrument in their hands before. On average, patients stay in the centers for two weeks to a month, and even within this short period, they achieve noticeable success and experience a truly positive time.
Currently, we use piano, drums, various percussion instruments, guitars, a harmonica, and a DJ console.
Playing musical instruments also helps in physical rehabilitation after fractures nd during the adaptation process of using a prosthesis.
Music therapy
Founded in 2023 against the backdrop of a full-scale war, the Victory Beats charity music project researches and develops various approaches to music therapy for people affected by Russian aggression. In particular, people with disabilities and people who survived captivity.

Pasha faced serious issues with his hand. Doctors said his fingers would never recover. But his unstoppable desire for self-realization, combined with a couple of months of guitar therapy at Victory Beats, proved that nothing is impossible. We are incredibly proud of Pavel!
