Image shows a young female with a pink top and long blonde hair smiling. The text says: Kalila is a vocalist, DJ, and keys player. She completed her undergraduate degree in Music and Music Psychology last year, and is currently completing an MA in Music and Wellbeing. Her two year position as president of the university’s community music volunteering society (LUUMIC) saw the development of her skillset as a practitioner, and a special interest in working with the elderly, and young people with SEND. With LUUMIC, she has delivered music sessions in care homes and hospices, and collaborates with various charities in the Leeds area. Facilitated by AIM, she has been running interactive music sessions for children with SEND at the charity Moor Time. To support this work, she has completed an introductory training session into the Sounds of Intent Framework with YAMSEN. Kalila has also been attending the weekly AIM choirs run by Karen and Georgie, often contributing by leading the hello song, or running the warm up. After graduating, she intends to pursue a career in delivering community music programs, and specialist music education for young people with SEND. “I am passionate about the therapeutic potential of music, and believe that people of all ages and abilities should have the opportunity for meaningful music participation to support their wellbeing, and musical development.”
