At the end of the Think22, Drake Music launched a series of four resources, that were developed as part of the programme, working with our four core partners: Essex Music Education Hub, Newham Music, THAMES (Tower Hamlets Arts and Music Education Service), and Coventry Music. These resources are a reflection of Drake Music’s core organisational approach of Disabled and Non-Disabled educators, musicians, leaders, artists and practitioners working together.
There is a need for more Disabled leaders, musicians, and educators in the music education sector: Think22 and Think2020 started from the position that as we are working in an environment where Disabled People are underrepresented, there needs to be action to bring about change. These resources were created to address these needs and ensure conversation and action continues in the music education sector.
Explore all the resources here.
The resources come in 5 different formats: Original (pdf), Large Text (docx), Easy Read (ppt), Audio (SoundCloud), and BSL (YouTube).
