Charlie Baxter and Lee Holder from The Music Works delivered an inspiring keynote presentation at the TechAbility Conference, held at the East Midlands Conference Centre.
Their interactive session explored how music can break barriers and build belonging for young people with additional needs and challenging circumstances. Featuring stories and voices from disabled young music makers, the keynote highlighted the transformational impact of flexible, inclusive approaches to sound and music-making.
Delegates also had the chance to experience a range of accessible, low-cost technologies that can be used in both one-to-one and group settings – supporting professionals who may not see themselves as musicians to integrate music into their work.
The session received excellent feedback and reinforced the vital role of inclusive music-making within assistive technology, education, and therapeutic environments.
An amazing keynote! So so interesting and I really enjoyed being a part of the music ensemble. Defiantly have some ideas to take away with me for Gloucester College, thank you!
Great gig-experience. Very accessible and informative.
Wow amazing presentation I can’t wait to order these products.
