Keri Newdigate comes from a musical family in which everyone played an
instrument and music was a very natural part of their lives. From an early age
she played 2-piano music with her mother. She says "Music is a deep and integral
part of my identity, and it is from this wellspring that my musical
improvisations turned into compositions".
She studied music at Rhodes University in Grahamstown, South Africa, then did a
Masters in Music Therapy through City University, London, UK. Her post graduate
training focussed on working with people with disabilities. In the first year
she worked with children who were autistic, had Down's Syndrome, learning
difficulties or were severely disabled and confined to wheelchairs.
In her
second year of training, she worked with adults in palliative care and in
neurological rehabilitation. Her dissertation was on a musician who had had a
right hemisphere stroke, and examined how this had impacted on his life.
Keri lives in Cape Town, South Africa with her husband and 2 children, who bring
sunshine, laughter and deep joy into her life. She writes "I consider myself
extremely fortunately to be able to do two things that I love - be a musician
and be a mother".
