Children with physical impairments in Bradford, Devon and Lincolnshire are to be given the opportunity to participate fully in whole class music-making.

Following successful bids for funding from Arts Council England’s National Lottery Project, the three areas will be able to roll out the OHMI Music-Makers Whole Class Programme, which seeks to give physically impaired children the same opportunities as their peers to participate in class music-making. This is achieved through assessing and providing adapted instruments or equipment to match those being used in the classroom; and guiding and supporting music hubs and teachers in how to include students with physical impairments in the music class.
