Music and the Senses

Children with a large variety of learning difficulties in special schools have been offered ‘Music and the Senses’, a multi-sensory project in which players use different stimuli to engage children in listening and improvisation. Further development of the project has involved work alongside a choreographer, a visual artist or most recently a prizewinning film-maker who explored the potential of engaging children with special needs through live video work, blending appropriate images with live pictures of the children themselves, creating music alongside the LMP musicians, to give the children a new opportunity to extend their concept of self.
