The company’s social impact programmes include creating and performing music that aids healing, brings comfort and uplifts spirits amongst the vulnerable. Since 2018, the company has been working with nursing homes, hospices, treatment centres and specialised schools to reach out to the elderly and ill, as well as youths who are at-risk or have special needs. The company also produces and conducts research into music created specially to promote mental wellness.
TENG Gives Back aims to pay forward the goodwill of TENG's supporters by working with music therapists to bring musical performances to the vulnerable. Since 2018, it has reached thousands of patients, caregivers and staff from nursing homes, hospices and treatment centres. The programme is now highly sought after by beneficiaries who recognise its effect on uplifting spirits and bringing comfort to the vulnerable and ill.
Music for Mindfulness is an innovative music experience by The TENG Company that aims to promote wellness and lower stress and anxiety directly in people’s homes. Researched over two years in collaboration with the Singapore Institute of Technology’s Health and Social Sciences Department, the project embodies TENG’s signature East-West sound and harnesses the technology of Binaural Beats along with ancient Chinese philosophies of music therapy that have been fused together to create a convenient, contemporary and easy-listening experience.
Working with specialised institutions, TENG creates Chinese music programmes for at-risk youths and individuals with special needs. The programme aims to build the self-confidence and self-esteem of students, foster their cooperative skills and teamwork, and empower them to discover and develop their musical potential.
TENG partners COPE as part of its latest Social Impact project, to equip young children in Singapore and around the world with fundamental survival skills in times of natural disasters. Working closely with the COPE team to turn their existing book series into animations with songs, the COPE project is yet another example of TENG pushing the boundaries of what music can do to help society.
