In my work for MusicPlace in schools and privately, I make music with a range of clients of all ages. I see individuals on the autistic spectrum, with visual impairments and with a range of disabilities.
In our sessions things I try to encourage include communication, self expression and sometimes the increase of motor skills. I also try to provide a space where children and adults can feel their music is heard. I run some groups in mainstream schools, promoting confidence and encouraging creativity in which the children work together.
I enjoy trying to connect with the wonderful people I work with through making music together.
