Most recently:
Tales of the Young Person’s Orchestra (TYPO) was a community music project designed to familiarise children in special education to Western classical music. The Project was funded by The Radcliffe Trust and *Pete Thomas, an individual donor. (NB: I have asked them to change this text to Cafesaxophone)
TYPO was grounded on a reciprocal workshop strategy whereby participants explored the sound worlds, themes and characteristic instruments of classical music while also drawing on the nuances of their individual musical engagement. The music was not conventionally taught to the participants, but put at the service of their expressive, communicational and sensory needs and preferences. The final outcome, a performance, a recording, a sound collage, or a combination of all, was the result of a process of mutual discovery.
TYPO saw supported creative music-making take place in three Special Educational Needs settings in Southampton:
The Avenue (Rosewood Free School) – (19-25yrs with PMLD and SLD)
Springwell School – (4-11yrs with children within Autism Spectrum)
Mary Rose School – (2-16yrs with mixed SEN/D, SLD and PMLD setting)
