Listening, Sensing and Being: Making music with pupils with Complex Needs. This session, led by practitioner and researcher Rosie Rushton, explores best practice when making music with pupils with PMLD. It will share the latest research on the impact music can have on pupils with PMLD, discuss how we can bring singing into our PMLD sessions, and share (and try out!) practical approaches that use musical play as a means of engagement. A fantastic opportunity to refresh and deepen your practice in this area.
