SEN & Music Therapy


Special Educational Needs (SEN) & Music Therapy
	In their combined years of teaching, Ozi Ozaa's musicians have enjoyed some of their most rewarding workshops and performances working with both young people and adults with Special Educational Needs (SEN). With such varying abilities both musically and physically, the challenge of running workshops is something we relish. Ozi Ozaa can provide training courses for teachers and carers who have some musical instruments but are unsure how to draw the most out of them and their young people. See our Teaching Aids & Training Courses page for more details. Pamela Wilson writing for Bella Online best describes the importance of music education and SEN. She writes..
		The importance of music education and resources for music therapy are sometimes overlooked for students in special education and others with special needs. To see, hear and play musical instruments at school or in community programs is as important for each child in this generation as it has always been. Opportunities open up new avenues for individuals to show their talent and ability in performing as well as appreciation as an audience for other people's performances. Children with disabilities have the same need to express themselves through music and art as their mainstream peers. Like everyone else, they may be able to express more through art than they communicate through words, and it may be more likely that they will be 'heard.' Pamela Wilson - Bella Online

Any of our workshops can be run as stand-alone events, or as a course to progress along side a students’ regular study program, during or in-between term time.
