SEND music workshops

SEND music workshops

This is where Earthsong began all of its work, nearly thirty years ago! With a free weekly music session at a local centre – We learnt so much there about the invisible power of music  – and how to allow it to do wonderful things!

Today in SEN settings we offer a version of our Round the World music workshop, or when requested, a specific theme.

We approach these workshops with sensitivity, both for the group and individuals. We adapt activities and content to suit all abilities, preferences and sensitivities. And the energy of what happens is determined by the group – but usually with a healthy blend of fun, colour, movement and zing! – Balanced with quieter still moments and relaxation.

We have gathered many instruments that suit this kind of setting, with engagement for all and safety in mind.

We make sure that these workshops are still as hands-on as is possible – though sometimes they might be more feet-on or whole body!

Our School had a very special visit from Earthsong Music today. Storme, Earthsong’s very talented musician, showed everyone lots of different fun and exciting instruments from all around the world. We had so much fun listening to the instruments being played and having a go ourselves. Thank you so much for such a fun and interactive music session, Earthsong Music!

“I am writing to say a huge thank you to Angela and Storme from Earth Song Music workshops. They came to our school this week to deliver a Japanese drumming workshop. It was truly amazing. The amount of detail and planning that had clearly gone into their workshop was impressive. It was colourful, exciting and totally interactive. Our school is a school for pupils aged 11-19 on the Autistic Spectrum. This makes change of routine, new faces and experiences very distressing for them at times. This was not the case on Monday. We had full attendance in the workshop and almost full participation. Angela and Storm knew instinctively how to engage our pupils and after the noise and excitement of the drums they moved straight into a calming and therapeutic section with the koto and flute. It was enchanting and beautiful to see some of the pupils taking part in a dance with umbrellas and fans. We would definitely recommend this workshop to anyone and we will certainly be working with them again next year. Thank you from all staff and pupils at Barbara Priestman School, Sunderland”

Fantastic workshop at our school engaging our year 8, 9 and 10 for the whole day.- no easy thing at the best of times! We had a wonderful experience of world music and fun and our students were able to hear and try out instruments they had never heard of or seen before. These guys have so much knowledge and talent which they get over in an extremely engaging way. We also created our own music and had opportunities to drum as a group. It was amazing to see our young people letting go and having a go so to speak. Highly recommend Earthsong for their professional and flexible workshops that delight students and staff alike. A great time was had by all!

Earthsong provide a beautiful, holistic experience with their music; exciting and accessible for both children and the staff! It was a welcoming and calming workshop and both Earthsong leaders had a wonderful and calm approach that just captivated the children! It was also a happy nostalgia trip for myself; who remembers Earthsong visiting my own school 15 years ago! Highly recommended! 5/5.
