We’re proud of the one-to-one online music sessions we were able to offer through our Accessible Music Learning programme, but unfortunately we’re no longer able to provide this service or take new referrals.
If you’re looking for accessible music learning, we’d recommend getting in touch with Open Up Music, a charity supporting young disabled musicians through accessible instruments, inclusive ensembles and music programmes.

Accessible Music Learning is online tutoring for anyone who wants to learn musical skills but finds it hard to engage with traditional lessons. The one-to-one sessions are delivered by music therapists who are trained to tune into each person’s unique abilities, needs and responses. They can help pupils progress on the instrument of their choice or improve their singing.
The service is suited to people with learning disabilities, mental health problems, neurological disabilities, dementia or challenging life circumstances. The main requirements are passion, enthusiasm and access to your chosen instrument. You also need to be able to concentrate for half an hour and understand our therapists’ instructions, even if your own speech is limited.
These one-to-one sessions last 30 minutes and are delivered online, through Zoom. The first four lessons are always free of charge. After that, a further block of four free sessions may be available, depending on your situation. Additional sessions can be bought for £15 each, but if there’s a financial barrier that would stop you taking part, we will be happy to discuss this.
