A BOROUGH music organisation’s youth choir welcomes young people with complex support needs.
Berkshire Music Trust’s (BMT) Soundabout Associate Choir runs free online sessions for youngsters and their families to access at home.
Soundabout Choirs are musical communities without barriers for people of all ages and all abilities, with a focus on giving a voice to learning disabled people with complex support needs.
Berkshire Music Trust says there is a place for all children in its music making community.
Because the Soundabout Associate Choir is run online, there are no transport or schedule issues and the whole family can join sessions, which are free to join with the option to make a small donation to support the trust’s work.
The long-established charity offers musical education opportunities to children, young people and adults across Berkshire, regardless of ability, background or circumstance.
It works closely with schools across the county to allow all children access to music and the opportunity to play an instrument.
Through local music centres, it offers people of all ages the chance to sing, play instruments and enhance their life-skills through music.
Its choirs, orchestras and ensembles perform at venues across the county and beyond, helping people to develop team-working and communications skills as well as building confidence.
Soundabout Associate Choir meets online on alternate Tuesdays, from 4.30pm until 5.30pm.
