It is widely acknowledged that music is of great value for people
with learning difficulties. It can be used as a catalyst to help
those with special needs acquire and improve basic skills and
thereby to communicate better. With clear aims and easy-to-follow
instructions, Pied Piper describes 78 enjoyable music activities
for groups of children or adults who may have learning
difficulties. The emphasis is on using music, rather than learning
songs or rhythms, so group members do not need any special skills
to be able to participate. Full details are given about any
equipment required for the games, as well as suggestions for
variations or modifications. The authors are experienced music
therapists and have used these activities on numerous occasions.
Designed to encourage people to develop their own ideas and musical
activities, this collection will be a source of inspiration and
practical advice for anyone working with people with a range of
special needs including carers and group leaders.
