Music
& Arts Education
Challenging perceptions about music and deafness and who can enjoy it by;
- providing insight and training in the world of music and musical forms, opening avenues to music practice so far denied to deaf communities and deaf children
- exploring ways to interpret music visually using multidisciplinary arts and technology, for everyone to learn from and enjoy
- developing creative ownership and career progression.
“You are making the art form accessible for mainstream audience as well as the deaf community. Classical music and art often seem impenetrable for many people and you showed real insight”.
