Babies in neonatal care are being treated to personalised musical performances, thanks to a new project with the University of Southampton. The scheme aims to improve bonds between parents and their little ones, as music students ad lib songs and melodies on the ward at the Princess Anne. The BBC's Sarah Farmer went along to hear some of their work. BBC Radio Solent's Katie Martin has been speaking to Dr Chi Ying Lam, a Lecturer in Community Music and Social Justice at the University of Southampton, about the project.
