Victory Beats Music Therapy is 1 year old!

The Victory Beats project celebrates another milestone. Our music therapy direction turned 1 year old! On May 18, 2024, at the Superhumans Center, we held our first relaxation session for Sasha, an 11-year-old boy who lost his leg as a result of being hit by a Russian missile. This session was also remembered for the fact that after it, Sasha became interested in music and tried to create compositions on his own using an application on a tablet.

Over these 12 months, music therapy has helped dozens of people - at Superhumans, at Habilitation center HAB, at special sessions for people who survived captivity. We helped organize retreats for veterans' families and began international cooperation with scientists and cultural institutions and projects. We launched our own approach to DJingas therapy and have now separated it into a separate project, EnterDJ. Even more events in the very near future.

Infinite gratitude to all who supported us, who joined and helped and, of course, a special gratitude to all visitors to our therapy. You inspire with your feedback about the improvement of the condition, you help to improve the approaches with your ideas and comments, you motivate others to join with your incendiary play and unbridled positivity.

Music heals the body and mind, music opens the door to our own subconscious and makes us a better version of ourselves. Music saves lives!

Maksym conquers the organ play

On April 24, an incredible event took place - Maksym took an important step towards his dream: learning to play the organ.

Maksym is a military man who, having lost parts of his fingers, did not lose his strength of spirit and thirst for music and the fulfillment of dreams.

Thanks to the Lviv Museum of the History of Religion, Maksym was able to experience all the greatness and beauty of organ music, hear fascinating stories and chat with the incredible Ms. Olena Matsenyukh. She hospitably welcomed us, shared her warmth and demonstrated her mastery of playing the organ.

The first chords that Maksym played are already making my goosebumps. This is just the beginning of a great journey that we will be happy to follow in the future!

Second meeting with Nigel Osborne

On April 15, an incredible event full of rhythm, emotions and musical enthusiasm took place at the Victory Beats music therapy. visited The outstanding British teacher, composer, humanitarian and iconic figure in the world of music therapy, Nigel Osborne, visited us again Nigel Osborne.

It was a real symphony of improvisation and desired melodies: from a driving rock rhythm with guitars and percussion to the deep, meditative sound of a hang. In addition to the therapeutic session itself, we also had a very fruitful conversation on plans for the development of music therapy in Ukraine. So, stay tuned for an update soon!

We are incredibly grateful to Nigel for the two hours of inspiration, play and spiritual light that he and our heroes gave to everyone present. Special thanks to Art Therapy Force project for the opportunity to organize this meeting.

Musical instruments for Habilitation Center

It's always nice to give gifts.

As you remember, on March 20, the first screening of the documentary "Resonance Beyond Borders: The Sounds of Ukraine" took place in London, created by SW Productions in collaboration with Hospitaldnb, Hospital Records and Sounds of Ukraine. This screening was a charity fundraiser for the Victory Beats project. In total, we managed to collect 25,000 UAH, with which we bought musical instruments.

And on April 13, we were very happy to present them to the First Abilification Center (Lviv) Guitar, djembe, bells, tambourine, shaker, glucophone - now, in addition to relaxation therapy from Victory Beats, the center's residents will be able to reveal themselves even more and express their inner world through music.

This event became even more outstanding because the group "Varenyky z vishnyami" also visited the center, performing vesnyankas - traditional Ukrainian songs in honor of the arrival of spring, and also telling extremely interesting stories about the origin of these songs. So, instead of long speeches, we immediately moved on to playing instruments to the songs.

And at the end, Sagittarius Zen held a master class in DJing, which aroused quite a bit of interest from the veterans.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped implement this good deed. There is even more interesting things ahead!

Performance for Prince Harry

On April 10, Prince Harry and representatives of his famous sports project, Invictus Games, visited the Superhumans Center. We, with our music therapy, could not stay away and together with the super musicians played rock and roll for the prince and the invincible heroes.

And we played like never before – so much so that the lights went out!
