New inclusive music group

On Saturday 11 June Southampton Music Hub ran the first of its new music group sessions for children and young people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD). Young people of all ages attended from Rosewood Free School and Rose Road Association. Led by Ignacio Agrimbau and Oliver Downer, participants were given opportunities to explore the sounds of a variety of traditional hand held percussion alongside the software Clarion, together creating evocative soundscapes.

"It was beautiful to hear how the young people responded to the different starting points provided by Ignacio and Oliver and how they responded to each other to create such atmospheric music. The hub was so grateful to all the support given by staff from Rosewood and Rose Road alongside that of Ignacio and Oliver. We are all looking forward to taking this group forward in the future." — Zoe Hunting, Music Services Manager
