Tuning In Music Book

Adam Ockelford

(2018)

Abstract

Containing 64 songs designed to promote language, social and musical development, this book accompanies the Tuning In Cards so you can perform the songs and integrate the activities into your own practice. When paired with the Tuning In Cards, it will offer an innovative way of developing communication in children with profound disabilities, visual impairment, and autism.

These songs have been developed in line with the Sounds of Intent framework and in collaboration with The Amber Trust. A helpful introduction by the composer describes how to adapt the songs and activities to the appropriate developmental level.


Adam Ockelford is Professor of Music and Director of the Applied Music Research Centre at the University of Roehampton. He has previously published Music, Language and Autism with JKP in 2013.
