The Music Gym is like a toolbox filled with engagement tools. I offer training courses showing how integrating methodology, technology, interaction and fun can deliver measurable benefits. I offer several packages:
• one day training in using specific software such as Unlocking Music
• one day training in the methodology of using technology to engage people with PMLD (profound and multiple learning disabilities)
• two to six days training in the assembly and use of equipment, from single elements up to a full Music Gym.
Prices start from £400 per day for up to 10 people.

Soundbeam is an amazing technology that’s been used for over ten years, enabling people with complex needs to produce and perform music.
As part of Decoda I used it almost daily for the last six years. I know from experience that people who initially brought Soundbeam into an organisation may move on, leaving you without a person who feels able to use the equipment. My training can help you get the most out of your equipment. In addition to training staff, I can also train the trainers within your organisation, so that they can then feel confident to pass on the information.
Prices start from £400 per day for up to 10 people.

I can take software from the Music Gym into schools and community groups for either a half or whole day. The workshops are particularly successful with young children. They are guaranteed to encourage those with special needs to play together and open up to new experiences. It can also be an opportunity during school breaks for parents to work and play with their children in an exciting and different atmosphere.
