Mission Statement
we use sound to enable people with learning disabilities to express themselves, connect with others, and feel the warmth of music.
Activities
now a national charity that has pioneered the use of music, rhythm and sound to give children and adults with disability a voice, a way to express themselves and be listened to.Our training programme in schools has continued to expand and develop around the specific needs of staff in SEN Schools and professionals who support people with severe learning disabilities. Training is delivered by our highly skilled Soundabout practitioners. Some of our practitioners also work as special needs teachers in schools and some are Music Therapists. However, all are highly skilled specialist practitioners with a national reputation for delivering unique in-classroom training. In addition, we offer children, young people and adults along with their families and carers, regular community sessions which encourage absolutely everyone to take part in their own way, in a relaxed and friendly environment. Once again, all of these sessions are lead and developed by our highly skilled music practitioners.
