ASN Music

Drake Music Scotland and freelance music practitioner Nick Cook offer bespoke creative workshops over a period of eight weeks to the six East Lothian ASN hubs and Nurture bases.

Drake Music Scotland (DMS) is the nation’s leading organisation delivering music education opportunities to disabled people and those with additional support needs. DMS delivers projects for learners of all ages across the country helping people play, learn, compose, and perform music. Their school-based work offers pupils the chance to work with a specialist trained musician on a creative project using instruments the school already has alongside technologies such as iPad and Soundbeam as well as the alternative notation Figurenotes (www.figurenotes.org).    

Nick Cook offers creative music sessions using a variety of drums, improvised song writing & vocal melody interaction. The sessions include an introduction to traditional sound therapy instruments as well as instruments from around the world (acoustic and electronic). The format will change and develop from group to group, with a flexible approach to fit in with each class.

The YMI outcome for this project is:

Young people develop their music and music making skills.
