Grace Meadows is a music therapist, bassoonist, and Campaign Director for Music for Dementia, The Utley Foundation. She studied bassoon at The Guildhall School and later trained as music therapist at the University of Roehampton.

As a music therapist she has worked with people across the lifespan in a variety of clinical areas, including special educational needs schools, adult psychiatry and child development in the NHS. She has also worked for the national organisation for music therapy, the British Association for Music Therapy.

In her role as Campaign Director, Grace has worked to make music an integral part of dementia care, advocating at all levels to promote the power of music. Her first encounter of seeing the power of music in action for people living with dementia was with a music therapy group for adults with dementia. Watching the music therapist support the group to connect, communicate and be together in the moment was transformative. It inspired her to train as music therapist and take up the role with the campaign.

As a life-long musician, she is incredibly passionate about the power of music to support health and wellbeing, and enhance and enrich lives. For her, being able to work with the Choir and the team to do more of that they excel at - inspiring people through the power of music - is a real honour and privilege.
