Target Group : Children and young people with disabilities; children and young people with mental health issues, children and young people needing support and age appropriate activities for fun, self expression, interaction, and development of skills
The Drake Music Project Northern Ireland provides access to independent music making for children and adults with complex disabilities. Workshops in composition and performance skills are afforded by the provision of adapted computer interfacing technology, in order that physical and cognitive ability is matched to an appropriate gestural interface, allowing people with disabilities the opportunity to express their creativity in an independent and controllable environment.
We operate workshops age appropriate for all interests, and mix able bodied and those with disabialities in age-matched groups to form bands, enjoy DJing sessions, record their own music or learn to play instruments.
Fun, empowerment, able activities, friendships, music talent and creativity are all celebrated in workshops available 6 days a week!
