Project Resonance


Sharing my life through music

Project Resonance is a community project initiated by International Music Therapy Centre (IMTC), a social enterprise in Hong Kong. The project was originally initiated by registered music therapists and soon registered speech therapist and music students were also invited to engage and support.

Music can unite people from different sectors. We aim to enhance social inclusion and promote community and joy sharing.

Our project currently focuses on serving young people with special needs and their families.

The resonance of music can empower many and have a great influence on the society.

Into the Community

Through music interaction, we can understand different people’s needs, expectations and feelings, encourage them to take the initiative to give back to the society.

Connect Through Music

All humans come into the world with an innate capability for music. Music, as a non-verbal medium, can be used to connect different people in the community.

Volunteer Engagement

Registered speech therapist, students and volunteers are also invited to support this project. Hope we can gather our strengths and make a better change to the society.
