Give me the chance to make music with other children

Show me and my friends that music can be a great way to make social inclusion work

• Start in a small group with songs that I know well and everyone sings the same part*
• Now try singing in a group where there are different parts being sung*
• Remember that I can’t see the information that other children will be getting through watching …
• Find other ways to tell me what’s happening (for instance, a discreet tap on my arm from my neighbour, so I know when it’s my turn)
• Teach me any movements that need to be made to songs before the other children come along to practise
• I might like to play in a children’s band or orchestra – remember, you’ll need to teach me the music before rehearsals!*
