Carrie Lennard - in tune with special needs

The Improvise Approach enables people with profound and complex needs to play an iPad musical instrument on their own, in their own way and at their own speed, making use of their particular physical and cognitive skills and strengths. (The Improvise Approach ebook is free in the U.K. from the iBookstore.)

After years of research and teaching music young people with severe, profound and complex needs, I created this music system, based on my experience, that carers, parents and teaching staff can use to empower their player(s) with real music-making skills. I run training workshops on setting up and using the ThumbJam and AUMI apps so that people with even the most restricted movement can play along solo and as a group and be totally in tune with each other and the music backing tracks (included in the ebook). These music tracks landscape the music session so band members can improvise freely on their iPad instrument and be in tune with everything they hear. No pressure is ever placed upon players to perform in a particular way. Every sound that a player makes on their iPad instrument is always harmonious, in tune and sounds very good!
- It’s a student-led experience.
- It’s a free-flow experience where the therapeutic benefits of music enhance exploration, understanding and enjoyment.
- It’s free in the U.K. from www.improviseapproach.com. I write articles, give talks, runs workshops for school children, parents, teaching staff and at conferences.
