On Friday 17 November, seven Year 10s took part in project at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lancasterian.manchester.sch.uk\/\">Lancasterian School<\/a>\u00a0in Didsbury, a specialist school\u00a0for children 3-16 who have physical, complex medical and \/ or complex communication difficulties. The students worked with a class called Hawkings, who, every Friday, have\u00a0a sensory story centred around\u00a0their school\u00a0dog, a black Labrador called <em>Albert<\/em>, who joins them in the classroom.<\/p>\n<p>Chetham\u2019s musicians created a soundtrack to enhance the story, with an Albert theme and a range of sounds to reflect actions in the story. This culminated in an assembly, in which Chetham\u2019s students introduced their instruments by playing familiar tunes\u00a0(both <em>Mario<\/em>\u00a0and <em>Pepper Pig<\/em> received a hugely enthusiastic response!)\u00a0and helped\u00a0Hawkings present\u00a0their Albert story for the whole school to enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve since had some wonderful feedback from Lancasterian. These included highlighting a boy, who only uses limited vocals,\u00a0singing Albert\u2019s name, and a girl who loved having the saxophone\u00a0played to her in her wheelchair, as she took Albert\u00a0 along the corridor back to the office.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to know more about our Community Music Programme, please feel free to <a href=\"http:\/\/chethamsschoolofmusic.com\/about\/contact-us\/\">contact us<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chetham\u2019s Community Music Programme is designed to take live music to people who might otherwise have little access to it.
