About Me
- Jonathan
- Bristol, South West, United Kingdom
- Drake Music works with disabled musicians of all ages to explore, compose and perform music. We use technology in innovative ways to foster creativity, nurture talent, develop new skills and bring together disabled and non-disabled artists. The Curriculum Development Initiative (CDI) aims to broaden access to the music curriculum in general, and to accreditation in music in particular. From 2009 to 2012 the CDI will focus on: piloting and distributing our own accessible NOCN accredited music course, as well as accessible, re-usable teaching and learning resources for music GCSE; building partnerships with examining bodies to increase uptake by disabled pupils; providing training as part of PGCE Music courses and broadening access to Instrumental music exams. Finally we aim to collate info on all accreditation options for disabled pupils and make these widely available to all through an online information resource. If you have any information to share please email me by using the 'View my complete profile' link below (This initiative is funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and also donations in memory of the Bristol musician, Jason Morris)
