SEND & Specialist Settings

“At its best, creative music-making in special schools is collaborative, multi-sensory, visceral, connected. A container in which each person in the room can express their truth in any given moment, regardless of need.”

The Dorset Music Hub community offers a range of opportunities to develop capacity within specialist settings and alternative provision for more learners with additional needs to benefit from high-quality music education.

Music Leaders and SEND specialist providers can build relationships across the Hub community to identify their own School Music Development Plan priorities and increase capacity for music delivery within their setting.

Benefit from connection with regional and national expertise, specialist programmes like Open Orchestras, professional development opportunities and access to adapted instruments and equipment to enable more learners to access music-making.
