The High Rise Music group meets on Friday mornings, 10am – 12pm. This group is aimed at individuals with profound and multiple learning disabilities.
The sessions are vibrant and fun, set at the participants’ pace, with professional musicians developing the members’ ideas.
Participants engage in sound making using various tools to encourage communication, confidence and use of fine motor skills. The group explore sound and silence, including musical improvisation; sound layering using vocal and instrumental sounds and performance. Communication through vocalisation, touch and other gestures can help develop a high level of familiarity and reciprocation, which enables trust and creates a relaxed atmosphere in the sessions.
High Rise provides individual, small group and whole group activities at each session. The members work as an ensemble, with opportunities for focus on individual members throughout the session.
