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.”
💫 We are excited to be expanding our small (but fabulous) team of freelance practitioners.
💫 Kalila will be delivering online vocal and piano lessons as part of a specialist instrumental lesson pilot starting in September.
💫 Welcome to team AIM Kalila, it is a pleasure working with you 😊👍🤩🎶
💫 Always a pleasure to work with @moortimecharity.bsky.social for their holiday clubs 😊🎶
💫 Please nominate us! We are slowly expanding our provision to offer subsidised online specialist instrumental lessons.
💫 £5000 would mean we could offer an opportunity like this to more children and young people who are disabled have additional needs!

💫 He brings so much joy and enthusiasm to every rehearsal and we can't wait to see him grow personally and musically in AIM choir's 5th year!
💫 Well done Warren!
💫 Warren was awarded his 2nd Trinity College London Sounds of Intent musical development qualification at the beginning of this year (entry 3) after completing his first qualification in June last year (entry 2).
💫 This week we celebrated our online inclusive choir turning 4!
💫 Our inclusive choir member Warren has been part of this group since we started the choir in 2021 and it has been wonderful to see how his confidence has grown and musical ability has developed.
💫 We are looking forward to our birthday themed online choir rehearsal later to celebrate our 4th birthday! 😊🤩🎂
