Summary
able2achieve runs a weekly music session on a Friday afternoon. We are looking for someone to develop creativity and bring technical music skills to the session.
Detailed description
We run a weekly music session for adults with Learning Disabilities, led by one of our Learners and another volunteer. We are looking to further develop the music sessions and are seeking someone who has a creative mind and can help design and run sessions with our team that people of all abilities can join in with.
You could also be someone who is confident at playing a certain instrument and would enjoy teaching the group the basics of the instrument. All ideas are welcome, as long as they are musical.
Individuals would spend some time with staff to plan 4-5 afternoon sessions a month and lead on a few of these sessions each week. The sessions would be attended by 6-9 adults with Learning Disabilities and supported by a2a staff.
We would like to work towards producing music that can be performed and recorded to showcase the abilities of the Learners we support.
