There is significant evidence to show that music therapy can help children develop communication and language skills, as well as support their physical, emotional and mental wellbeing.
Established in 2017, In-Deep offers a music therapy service for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
Twice a month we run groups for a variety of ages:
Pimlico, 2nd Saturday of each month - sessions for 3-10 years old, 11-18 years old, and 19-30 years old.
Oval, 3rd Thursday of each month - sessions for 3-10 years old and 11-20 years old.
Online (via Zoom), 4th Saturday of each month - sessions for 3-10 years old and 11-20 years old.
Music therapy for children and young people with SEND: participants are invited to join in group music-making, we can sing, play instruments or listen together and move to the beat. Sessions are led by qualified and experienced HCPC music therapists, and supported by students from the Royal College of Music.
__________
In-Deep also offer free, group Drama classes, specially designed for children with Special Educational Needs (SEND) and Autism. These sessions are led by experienced drama practitioners, and offer a supportive and inclusive environment for young actors to explore their creativity. Drama is fantastic for building confidence, improving communication and developing team-building skills. The sessions are for children ages 3-10 and 11-20.
Drama sessions run every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month, from 18:00-19:00pm, at Millbank Academy, Erasmus Street, SW1P 4HR, London.
