Derek plays Skunk Hollow Rag by Tom Brier after hearing it once while Adam prompts him to change keys at random points as he plays faster and faster! Absolutely incredible.

In this music therapy group for students with profound and multiple disabilities, sensory learning is key - feeling and listening to instruments, and singing.
Zuzanna loves the electric guitar, while Mariam likes to feel the vibrations of the cello.

She is wearing a pink neck tie, while behind her is a classroom with a brightly coloured information board. In front of her is a music therapist, a woman in her 30s who is playing electric guitar and smiling widely at the girl.

We just got some ukuleles for our music class and our students are already having a blast with them! They've been trying out the new instruments, playing with their friends and learning about proper posture and rhythmic strumming. Everyone is excited to dive deeper into their ukulele journeys and can't wait to start playing some songs together. 🎼
