A short film about early career musicians delivering music sessions in specialist autism schools

Live Music Now has made a short film which provides insight into delivering music sessions for young people with Autistic Spectrum Disorder.  The film was created as part of a Youth Music funded project in which 4 pairs of early career musicians from Live Music Now delivered a year-long residency in four specialist autism schools in London.  The musicians were supported during the project by school staff and mentors Professor Adam Ockelford and Graham Dowdall.  The film captures some of the musicians' learning, focusing on particular elements which they felt were important for planning music sessions in this type of setting.
