More about Soundabout:
Soundabout is a charity that uses music to empower and unlock the potential of people with severe and profound learning disabilities. Our multi-sensory music-making techniques help to stimulate communication, learning and self-expression, enabling people who may be unable to hold an instrument or speak to make their own unique contribution.
· Sound and music is the starting point
· Our practise is based on intensive interaction
· We model and teach a culture of musical communication
· We use resonance boards, Soundbeams, musical instruments, sound, silence, voice, music and storytelling
· We facilitate playfulness in order to release inhibition around music-making
· We look at what is the most effective way of working and use a range of approaches, suitable for children, young people adults, parents and teachers
· We exemplify developing relationships – what unfolds, what opens up, what changes from this interaction
We have a range of online and in person musical activities and clubs, please see below, or head over to https://www.soundabout.org.uk/ for further information.
