Music and Children with Special Needs:Sounds of Intent

Our priority is that you gain an introduction to the Sounds of Intent framework of musical development for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. This incorporates;

• Developing and training students in terms of their academic and practical skills in music provision, using both fundamental theoretical and research issues.
• Providing opportunities for the application of new knowledge within your own professional context. For example, you will be able to develop and design a music curriculum for children with learning difficulties. 
• Being introduced to a range of techniques required to promote the musical development of children with Special Educational Needs.

The Sounds of Intent qualification will support those seeking work in:

• Special schools
• With pupils/students with special educational needs/disabilities
• Community music contexts.
