Grant's Christmas

Every year in December we celebrate Christmas because that's when Jesus Christ was born and Christmas day was named after him Christmas is also about celebrating with the family and being together over the festive season there is also a magical man in a red suit and hat that goes around every Christmas eve and his name is Santa clause and he brings you presents but only if you are good. In a America they have thanks-giving then Christmas. In some countries some people don't even believe in Christmas how sad is that?

Musical Performance at Banff Day Services – 10/10/2011

On Monday the 10th of October 2011, I treated Service Users at Banff Day Services to an hour of performed music. I was motivated to do this because I know that people with Learning Disabilities can find great enjoyment through music. I have already attended a Friends of Boyndie Dance and it was there I first realised how much of a benefit music can have for the Service Users. I study music at Aberdeen College, and one of the tasks given to me was to perform in the Community and the gig at Banff Day Services was my chosen project. It first began when I contacted Emma for permission to perform. After being granted permission I immediately started rehearsing. On the day of the performance I played the songs by bands like The Beatles, The Small Faces, The Kinks, Radiohead, Judas Priest and more. It went down well and the feedback I received from Service Users and Carers was positive. If I am given another opportunity to play music for Service Users, I hope to make it a bigger event than the one I have just done. I am pleased to have taken part in such an activity and will do it again if I am given the chance.
