Sounds of Intent in the Early Years - North West launch

Brighter Sound are delighted to announce the North West Regional Launch of the Sounds of Intent Early Years Framework, Thurs 15 Oct, 11am-2pm at our host venue Band on the Wall   

We’re hosting the launch as part of our role as regional champions and are delighted to welcome pioneering researcher Professor Adam Ockelford to present his findings at this event.

‘Sounds of Intent in the Early Years’ (SoI-EY) is an innovative resource based on pioneering research led by Professor Adam Ockelford, Director of the Applied Music Research Centre at the University of Roehampton, in London. SoI-EY sets out just how children’s minds develop musically, from three months before birth, so that by the time they enter full time education, they are already fledgling young musicians. This new findings mean that, for the first time, it is possible to target activities aimed specifically at individual children’s levels of musical development, maximising their progress.
