Take a look at the #Mugo in action. In this video, Luke uses the Mugo to create melodies, working with accompaniment by Adam on the keyboard. It is plain to see how invigorating the experience is for Luke (and his mum!). #music #musiceducation #musictechnology

On Monday, researchers in Music Psychology and Applied Musicology at Uni of Roehampton came together to share research ideas and exchange thoughts on how we conduct research. This work supports Sounds of Intent, and it was so great to meet up and hear updates.

And our mailing to special schools is off! We have compiled almost a thousand physical letters to the UK’s special schools. Although it’s quite rare to attempt physical mailing campaigns these days, we thought the novelty might work in our favour. #specialeducation
