What to Expect

During each 60-minute class, children will learn to sing, sign, play and dance to repertoire from The Music Man Project Songbook in a fun, welcoming and supportive environment. Through singing, signing, playing instruments and performing together, pupils develop confidence, musical skills, friendships and a strong sense of belonging.

Meet Your Tutor

The session will be led by Laura Forbes, a qualified music teacher, choir leader and inclusive arts practitioner with more than 20 years of experience across schools, hospitals and community settings.

Laura is currently Music and Performing Arts Teacher at South Grove Primary School and has previously worked at The Vale Special School, The Brook Special School and Great Ormond Street Hospital School. She is the founder and Musical Director of Sing17 Community Choir, has worked extensively in inclusive performing arts, and has led projects supporting disabled and non-disabled young people to create and perform together.

About The Music Man Project

Founded by former UK Disability and Access Ambassador for Arts and Culture and Churchill Fellow, David Stanley BEM, The Music Man Project is a multi-award-winning, world record-breaking international music education charity for people with learning disabilities. The Music Man Project transforms the lives of children and adults with learning disabilities through high-quality music education and performance opportunities. Rather than offering music therapy, The Music Man Project believes that people with disabilities deserve access to the same practical, live group music tuition and performance experiences as their mainstream peers.

At The Together Space, we are passionate about creating opportunities for children and families to connect, thrive and feel truly included. This partnership brings together our shared commitment to accessibility, community and empowering every child to reach their potential.

Please Note

  • We recognise that young people with disabilities develop at different rates, and whilst we've stipulated an age range, age flexibility may be considered on an individual basis, following safeguarding and risk assessment. Please contact us directly hello@thetogetherspace.co.uk to discuss.

  • Cancellation Policy Cancellations made 48 hours or more will receive a full refund. Unfortunately, no refunds can be given for cancellations made within 48 hours of the class starting.
