MUSE Project: Home

Breaking Through Barriers

The MUSE Project has been helping children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities to make music since 2007. As well as providing active musical experiences for young people, we also investigate the different ways in which these same tools and techniques can be used within broader educational contexts. Our focus is on the creative use of technology, music and multimedia to bring about new, imaginative ways of improving educational provision.

Our team has an excellent track record in delivering a variety of different services. From exceptional musical service delivery, through to innovative research and development and comprehensive training and consultancy – there are many ways in which we can help institutes, organisations, teachers and young people break down disabling barriers to participation.

User Centered Design

We employ a range of methodologies designed to place end users at the very heart of what we design and deliver.

Evidence Based Practice

Our professional practices are evidence-informed and we evaluate them continually so that we contribute to the current evidence-base.

Testimonials

“To see students fully engaged with music making, concentrating for longer period of time, waiting in anticipation for what is coming next and taking turns with each other was a joy and a privilege. In addition, I know that their understanding of cause and effect and their use of ICT in the music making process has improved.”
Jane Tucker, Teacher - Three Ways School
“The students were fully engaged with the technology and although they were a little shy at the beginning everybody contributed something. The technology worked well for our project and allowed us to make sound effects for the story we are telling in assembly, using both instruments and our own voices. A really worthwhile session.”
Pippa Collier, Teacher - Three Ways School
“S1 had a wonderful session today, every student in the class made a sound. The enjoyment was evident by looking at the students faces.”
Liz Bowen, Teacher - Briarwood School
“The session was fantastic! One child used her arm really well, the most I have seen her do. She was so excited and engaged.”
Rachel Buoy, KS2 Teacher
“From a phonic perspective, for literacy, this has massive potential.”
K Tavender, Teacher
“A massive thank you…my class really enjoyed the session. I think the technology could be used within any lesson and is perfect for all my class, particularly my pupils with PMLD. I really enjoyed the session and will definately incorporate it within my lessons in the future. Thank you!”
